Circleville City

The Circleville City school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Circleville Elementary School, Circleville High School, and Circleville Middle School. While the district has some bright spots, such as a strong graduation rate at the high school and relatively strong performance at the elementary school, it also faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, uneven academic achievement, and an overall low ranking compared to other districts in Ohio.

Circleville City schools have a diverse student population, with white students making up 89-93% of the student body. Circleville Elementary School has the highest enrollment with 1,075 students, while Circleville High School has 615 students and Circleville Middle School has 481 students. The high school has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 93.1%, which is a strong performance.

However, the district faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level, where 42.9% of students are chronically absent. Additionally, while Circleville Elementary School performs reasonably well on state tests, Circleville Middle School struggles, particularly in math, suggesting a need to evaluate curriculum alignment and instructional practices across the grade levels. Overall, the district's low ranking and 2-star rating indicate that comprehensive improvements are needed to raise the quality of education across Circleville City schools.
