Summary:
The Chillicothe City school district in Ohio comprises 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Chillicothe Intermediate School, Chillicothe Primary School, and Mt. Logan Early Childhood Center), 1 middle school (Chillicothe Middle School), and 1 high school (Chillicothe High School).
Among the standout schools, Chillicothe Middle School appears to be performing relatively well, with a statewide rank between 589-652 out of 1,036 Ohio middle schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in 8th grade Science and 7th grade English Language Arts, are above the Chillicothe City and Ohio state averages. Chillicothe High School has also shown improvement in its test scores, with the percentage of students proficient or better in American Government increasing from 65.2% in 2023-2024 to 73.3% in 2024-2025, outperforming the state average.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.9% across all schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, student performance can vary significantly across grade levels within the same school, and there is room for improvement in areas like math and English Language Arts proficiency, which are below state averages in many grade levels. The district could benefit from a closer examination of factors contributing to these issues and targeted interventions to address them.
