Summary:

The Jefferson Area Local school district in Ohio is home to two elementary schools: Jefferson Elementary and Rock Creek Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Based on the available data, Rock Creek Elementary School stands out as the higher-performing school, with notably stronger test scores across multiple grade levels and subject areas compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 85.7% of 5th graders at Rock Creek were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 73.6% for the district and 67.7% for the state. Rock Creek also excels in 4th and 5th grade math, as well as 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state.

While both schools have the same 19.6% chronic absenteeism rate, which is slightly higher than the state average, Jefferson Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 60%, compared to 50.49% at Rock Creek Elementary School. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student outcomes, and addressing attendance issues could be an area of focus for improvement across both schools.
