Summary:
Crooksville Exempted Village is a small Ohio district serving about 1,072 students across three schools: Crooksville Elementary School (PK–4, 450 students), Crooksville Middle School (5–8, 317 students), and Crooksville High School (9–12, 305 students). The district as a whole ranks 597th of 773 districts, in the 23rd percentile with 1 star, so it sits in the lower quartile of Ohio districts in this data set.
Comparing the three schools, Crooksville Elementary School is the relative bright spot: 45th percentile with 2 stars, up from 37th percentile the prior year, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 20.4%, and a standout 73.1% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA versus the state's 63.4%. Crooksville Middle School is the most polarized — 5th grade ELA (72.5%) and Science (63.3%) are both above state averages, but 8th grade Math is 10.9% and 8th grade ELA is 29.3%, the weakest results in the district, alongside the highest absenteeism at 27.0%. Crooksville High School has the lowest rank percentile (18th, 1 star) yet a strong 95.4% graduation rate; Geometry (18.9%) and English II (46.2%) lag well behind the state.
Two patterns stand out for families. First, Algebra I results are split: middle school students outperform high school students in both years, and middle school is above the district Algebra I average while the high school is below it. Second, spending and outcomes do not move together — the high school spends the most per student in the available 2018–2019 data ($10,575) but ranks lowest, while the elementary spends the least ($8,341) and ranks highest. No school here is uniformly strong or weak, and improvements are uneven year over year.
