Summary:
Beaver Local is a small Ohio district serving about 1,724 students across three schools — one elementary (K–4), one middle (5–8), and one high school (9–12) — all located on a single campus at 46088 Bell School Rd in East Liverpool. Each school holds roughly a third of district enrollment, and Beaver Local as a whole ranks 293rd of 773 Ohio districts, in the 62nd percentile.
The Beaver Local Middle School is the clear academic standout. It is the only school in the district holding 4 stars, ranking 293rd of 1,046 middle schools (72nd percentile), and it beat the state average in 10 of 11 tested subjects in 2025-2026 by an average of about 14 points. Its 8th grade math result — 82.5% proficient versus 52.0% statewide — is the largest margin in the data, and its Algebra I End of Course pass rate was 100% in both years, though that reflects a small, accelerated group of test-takers. The Beaver Local Elementary School is above state on average (about +4 points) but has fallen from the 74th to the 54th percentile over three years and dropped a star. The Beaver Local High School posts a 98.7% graduation rate and strong biology, history, and government results, but carries the district's highest chronic absenteeism (27.5% versus 23.5% district-wide) and its only below-state subject, Algebra I at 56.7%.
Parents should know that all three schools have slipped in state rank since 2023-2024 (elementary −20, middle −11, high −8), even as most proficiency rates remain at or above the state level. Two pressure points stand out: 7th grade, where ELA fell to 55.0% against a state rate of 62.7% and math dropped 10.3 points, and high school math. The high school reports 99.45% of students as economically disadvantaged, so these results are achieved in a high-poverty setting. Note also that per-student spending figures date to 2018-2019.
