Summary:
West Holmes Local in Ohio serves about 1,675 students across seven schools — four elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, including an online academy — and the district as a whole ranks 291 of 773 districts statewide, placing it in the 62nd percentile with 3 stars.
The strongest academic profile in the district belongs to Millersburg Elementary School, which holds a 4-star rating, ranks in the 80th percentile, has chronic absenteeism of just 6.6% against the district's 14.3%, and in 2025–2026 scored above both district and state in every reported subject. West Holmes Middle School is the highest-ranked school by percentile (75th, 4 stars), with especially strong math and science results, including 100% proficiency on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam — a figure that likely reflects a small, advanced cohort. Attendance is a clear dividing line: all four elementary schools fall below the district's chronic absenteeism rate (from 6.0% at Killbuck Elementary School to 9.1% at Nashville Elementary School), while the middle school (16.9%) and high school (25.2%) exceed it.
Two schools warrant a closer look. West Holmes High School posts a 98.6% graduation rate yet has the district's highest absenteeism and a rank that slipped to 46th percentile and 2 stars, with Algebra I persistently below district and state. Lakeville Elementary School dropped from 77th percentile and 4 stars to 51st percentile and 3 stars; its 4th-grade ELA result of 48.3% proficient trails the state's 61.8%. West Holmes Digital Academy, with 34 students and a 34:1 ratio, has a 73.7% graduation rate and no test or spending data, making comparisons difficult. Note also that spending figures are from 2018–2019, and small schools can swing widely year to year.
