Carey Exempted Village Schools

Carey Exempted Village Schools is a two-school Ohio district made up of Carey High School, which serves grades 6–12, and Carey Elementary School, which serves grades K–5. Total reported enrollment is 855 students: 483 at the high school and 372 at the elementary school. The district ranks 378 out of 773 districts statewide, placing it at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. Because each tested grade level is served by only one school, every district test score matches the corresponding school's score.

The elementary school is the stronger performer relative to state benchmarks, with 3rd Grade ELA at 85.2% proficient compared with 63.4% statewide, 3rd Grade Math at 77.8% versus 62.1%, and 4th Grade Math at 80.5% versus 67.3%. It ranks 606 of 1,560, or the 61st percentile, with 3 stars. Carey High School has a split profile: a 100.0% graduation rate, American Government at 82.1% versus 71.6% statewide, Biology at 78.8% versus 67.0%, and American History at 81.2% versus 73.2%. Math, however, is a clear weakness, with Geometry at 21.1% versus 43.3% statewide, Mathematics 7 at 31.1% versus 48.6%, and Mathematics 8 at 36.4% versus 52.0%.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.5% at the elementary school, better than the district's 13.2%, while the high school's 15.2% is higher. Rank trends move in opposite directions: the high school slipped from the 63rd percentile to 59th to 52nd over three reported years, while the elementary school improved from 56th to 61st and held there. Both schools saw science declines — 5th Grade Science fell to 58.1%, below the state's 62.7%, and 8th Grade Science dropped to 62.0%. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported for either school, so socioeconomic context is unavailable.
