Summary:
Hicksville Exempted Village School District is a small Ohio district with three schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving grades K–12 from a single shared campus address, with 868 students enrolled. The district ranks 36th of 773 districts statewide, in the 95th percentile with 5 stars. Enrollment is concentrated at the lower grades: Hicksville Elementary School is the largest at 43.2% of students, followed by Hicksville Middle School at 32.5%, and Hicksville High School at 24.3%.
All three schools rank in the 91st percentile or higher statewide. The elementary school is the standout: 45th of 1,560 schools (97th percentile), with 4th-grade math at 100% proficient and 3rd-grade math and ELA both at 95.4%. The middle school ranks 66th of 1,046 (94th percentile) and posts math proficiency from 87.3% to 92.0% in grades 5–8, against state averages of roughly 48.6% to 59.1%. The high school ranks 74th of 795 (91st percentile) with a 96.4% graduation rate and strong End-of-Course results in Algebra I (90.2%), Biology (89.1%), American History (89.1%), and American Government (87.7%); Geometry improved from 67.8% to 76.7% year over year.
The clearest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which climbs sharply after elementary school: 4.7% at the elementary, 11.7% at the middle school, and 16.6% at the high school, compared with 9.9% district-wide. The high school also remains strong but has slipped from its 2023–24 peak of 28th of 864 schools. Resource and socioeconomic data are limited — free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported, and per-student spending is available only for 2018–19 for the elementary ($9,541) and high school ($10,195) — so family income context cannot be assessed here. Overall, this is a high-achieving district with exceptional elementary and middle-school results and one clear concern in rising secondary absenteeism.
