Summary:
Walnut Township Local is a small Ohio district in the Millersport area, serving roughly 483 students in grades K–12 across just two schools — Millersport Elementary School (K–5, 223 students) and Millersport Junior/Senior High School (grades 6–12, 260 students). There is no separate middle school, so grades 6–8 sit inside the junior/senior high. Overall, the district ranks 418th of 773 Ohio districts — the 46th percentile, 2 stars.
The junior/senior high is the district's standout. It earned 3 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 372nd of 795 (53rd percentile), up from 2 stars and the 40th percentile a year earlier. Its graduation rate is 92.3%, and it topped the state in Algebra I (75.7% vs 61.6%), English II (76.3% vs 62.7%) and American Government (80.9% vs 71.6%). Its clear weak spot is middle-grade math: 7th grade math was 33.3% vs 48.6% statewide and 8th grade math 35.7% vs 52.0%, leaving the middle-grade math average 11.1 points below the state. Biology also trailed at 58.3% vs 67.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 26.3%, above the district's 23.6%.
The elementary school moved in the opposite direction, slipping from 3 stars and the 61st percentile in 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 46th percentile in 2025–2026; its average proficiency fell from 6.0 points above the state to 1.1 points below. Bright spots remain 5th grade science (72.7% vs 62.7%) and 5th grade ELA (75.8% vs 70.4%), while 5th grade math lagged at 45.5% vs 59.1%. Absenteeism there is 20.6%, below the district rate. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for both schools, and spending figures are from 2018–2019 only ($13,440 at the high school vs $9,780 at the elementary), so treat those comparisons with caution.
