Summary:
West Geauga Local is a small, high-performing Ohio district serving about 1,969 students across four schools — two elementaries (PK–2 and 3–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — and it ranks #10 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 99th percentile with 5 stars. Every school with a current rank sits in the top 2–3% of Ohio schools, and all four hold 5 stars. Enrollment is fairly evenly spread, from 367 students at Westwood Elementary School to 641 at West Geauga High School.
West Geauga Middle School is the strongest-ranked school in the district at #14 of 1046 middle schools, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course exams in both years, 8th grade math at 95% (52% statewide), and 8th grade science at 90.8% (61.2% statewide). Robert C Lindsey Elementary School ranks #29 of 1560 elementary schools, with scores like 94.2% in 5th grade science and 93.9% in 3rd grade math, plus a reported 100% in 6th grade math. West Geauga High School ranks #25 of 795 high schools, graduates 98.6% of students, and outpaces the state broadly — Geometry at 87.9% vs. 43.3% statewide — though its average slipped from about 95.8% to 91.7% year over year. Westwood has no current test records in this extract, which is expected for a PK–2 school; its historical ranks were at the 94th–95th percentile.
Chronic absenteeism is the clearest difference between schools: West Geauga High School is at 17.4%, above the district's 11.0%, while the middle school is 10.4% and the elementaries are 5.9% (Robert C Lindsey) and 6.9% (Westwood). The middle school posts top-1% results even with the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate (18.66%) and highest student-teacher ratio (21.3). Note that per-student spending figures date to 2018–2019 and should not be read as current.
