Summary:
Patrick Henry Local is a small Ohio district serving roughly 887 students across three schools — Patrick Henry Elementary School (PK–4, 333 students), Patrick Henry Middle School (5–8, 282 students), and Patrick Henry High School (9–12, 272 students). The district ranks 129th of 773 Ohio districts, in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars.
Each school has its own strengths. The elementary school has the strongest ranking history — 85th to 89th percentile over the last three years — and standout results such as 98.1% proficiency in 4th-grade math versus 67.3% statewide, plus 81.7% in 3rd-grade ELA versus 63.4% statewide. The middle school posts the most striking result in the district: 100% Algebra I End of Course proficiency in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, against statewide rates in the low 60s and high 50s. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.3%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.1), along with strong 5th- and 8th-grade math and science scores. The high school has the best graduation outcome at 96.3% and solid results in American History (88.9%), Biology (82.7%), and American Government (82.4%), but its rank history is the lowest of the three (71st–75th percentile), and it carries the highest chronic absenteeism (11.3%, above the district's 9.4%) and the highest student-teacher ratio (18.1).
In 2025–2026, every reported school-level test score is above the Ohio average. Two changes stand out: the high school's Geometry proficiency jumped from 40.3% to 58.1%, and elementary 3rd-grade math fell from 92.7% to 76.1% — likely a cohort effect, since that same group's 4th-grade math rose to 98.1%. A few notes for parents: free/reduced-lunch data is available only for the high school (98.9%) and is missing for the elementary and middle schools, and per-pupil spending figures are from 2018–2019, so they are historical rather than current.
