Summary:
South Point Local in Ohio serves about 1,343 students across four schools: two elementary schools (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12), operated by the South Point Local district, which ranks 484 of 773 districts statewide — the 37th percentile, with 2 stars. The district's overall rating hides a clear split: both elementary schools earned 3 stars in 2025–2026, while the middle and high schools each earned just 1 star.
The strongest performer is Burlington Elementary School, at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars and steady rankings over three years. Its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (77.4%) beats both district and state, and its 4th-grade math (74.5%) is above state. South Point Elementary School has slipped in rank (69th percentile in 2023–2024 to 52nd now) but still posts the district's best 5th-grade results — 83% in ELA and 75.5% in math, both above state — and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.6%, versus 18.5% districtwide. Note that 5th-grade math ranges widely between the two elementaries: 75.5% at South Point Elementary versus 56.4% at Burlington.
Secondary results are the main concern. South Point Middle School sits at the 30th percentile with 1 star, has the highest absenteeism (24.1%), and very low core results — 8th-grade science 30.9% and 6th-grade math 24%, against state rates of 61.2% and 56.2% — though its Algebra I proficiency is a striking 88.2%, far above district and state. South Point High School remains at the 28th percentile with 1 star; American History (77.3%) and English II (66.7%) beat state, graduation is 92.0%, but Geometry is very low at 15.5% versus 43.3% statewide, and Biology is below state. Absenteeism also runs higher here (22.2%). Spending and class size show no simple link to results: the middle school spends the most per student ($8,696) and the high school has the smallest classes (12.6 students per teacher), yet both rank lowest.
