Summary:
There are two public schools in Sycamore, Ohio, both in the Mohawk Local district and located on State Highway 231: Mohawk Elementary School, serving grades PK–6 with 518 students, and Mohawk High School, serving grades 7–12 with 356 students. Together they enroll 874 students. Because there is no separate middle school in this area, seventh and eighth grade are part of the high school, which matters when reading its test results. The district is rated 4 stars and ranks 123 of 773 Ohio districts, in the 84th percentile.
Mohawk Elementary School is the clearer academic standout, especially in math. In 2025–26, 4th-grade math reached 95% proficient versus 67.3% statewide, and 6th-grade math hit 89.4% versus 56.2%; math proficiency across grades 3–6 ranges from 87.2% to 95%. English language arts and 5th-grade science also beat state averages. The school earned 5 stars and the 93rd percentile in 2024–25, then 4 stars and the 84th percentile in 2025–26 — still well above average. Chronic absenteeism is low at 5.1%, below the district's 8.0%.
Mohawk High School stands out for its 98.1% graduation rate and its ranking climb, from 3 stars and the 61st percentile in 2023–24 to 4 stars and the 82nd percentile in 2025–26. Algebra I, American History, American Government, English II, and 7th-grade math and ELA are well above state levels, while Geometry (47.5% proficient, down from 73.7%), 8th-grade ELA and 8th-grade Science sit only near state averages. Absenteeism is higher here at 12.2%. The high school has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.7) and higher per-student spending ($10,213) than the elementary school ($8,873), and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 69.94%; the elementary school's rate is not reported, so the two cannot be compared on that measure.
