Summary:
Tri-Village Local is a small, two-school district in New Madison, Ohio, serving 745 students in all. Tri-Village Elementary School covers grades K–7 with 381 students, and Tri-Village High School covers grades 6–12 with 364 students, so grades 6 and 7 overlap between the two buildings. The district is ranked 108 of 773 in Ohio — the 86th percentile — with 4 stars.
Both schools rank in the top 10% of Ohio schools for 2025–2026, each at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. The high school has earned 5 stars for three straight years (74 of 864 in 2023–2024, 43 of 855 in 2024–2025, and 67 of 795 in 2025–2026) and posts a 98.6% graduation rate. Its end-of-course results far exceed state averages, including Geometry at 85.5% vs 43.3%, Algebra I at 92.4% vs 61.6%, and American History at 89.5% vs 73.2%. The elementary school made the bigger jump this year, rising from 4 stars and the 80th percentile to 5 stars and the 92nd percentile, with standout results in ELA 3rd grade (93.6% vs 63.4%) and Math 5th grade (86.0% vs 59.1%). It also serves a high-need population — 60.37% free or reduced lunch — while still scoring well above the state.
Two watch items stand out. Chronic absenteeism is below the district rate of 15.0% at the elementary school (11.2%) but above it at the high school (19.5%), which is notable given the high school's strong achievement. And 8th grade math is the only listed 2025–2026 school result below the state average, at 46.6% vs 52.0%, down from 90.6% the year before; 7th grade math and 8th grade science also fell but remain above state. Families should note that per-student spending figures are from 2018–2019 ($8,488 elementary, $8,622 high) and that small class cohorts can make year-to-year swings look larger than they are.
