Three Rivers Local

Three Rivers Local in Ohio serves about 1,938 students across three schools: Three Rivers Elementary (PK–4, 731 students), Taylor Middle School (5–8, 599 students), and Taylor High School (9–12, 608 students). The district is ranked 292 of 773 statewide, putting it in the 62nd percentile with 3 stars — an average that masks wide differences among the three schools.

Taylor Middle School is the clear standout: 4 stars, 76th percentile, and above the state average in every tested subject in 2025–26. Its Algebra I proficiency was 100% in 2024–25 and 98.4% in 2025–26, versus state averages of 59.4% and 61.6%. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (33.39%) despite the highest student-teacher ratio (18.7). Taylor High School has real strengths — a 100.0% graduation rate and 2025–26 results above state in American History (84.8% vs. 73.2%), Biology (79.1% vs. 67.0%), and English II (70.4% vs. 62.7%) — but its rank percentile slid from 62nd to 50th, American Government fell 12.1 points to 68.8% (below the state's 71.6%), and Geometry (42.3%) and Algebra I (60.2%) are slightly below state.

Three Rivers Elementary shows a split picture: 4th grade results are strong (Math 85.3% vs. state 67.3%; ELA 71.3% vs. 61.8%), both up sharply year over year, but 3rd grade math is 55.1% against a state average of 62.1%, down 7.5 points. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at 14.8%, while the middle school is 18.6% and the high school 22.8% — absenteeism clearly rises with grade level. The most striking academic anomaly is Algebra I: 98.4% at the middle school versus 60.2% at the high school (district 76.0%, state 61.6%), though middle school testers are likely a more advanced subset of students. Parents should note the district's 3-star rating hides a standout middle school and a slipping high school.
