Summary:
Johnstown-Monroe Local is a four-school district in Ohio serving roughly 1,656 students: two elementary schools (one for grades K–3 and one for grades 4–5), one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12. The district as a whole ranks 113th out of 773 Ohio districts — the 85th percentile — and holds a 4-star rating.
Johnstown Middle School is the district's flagship. It is the only 5-star school in the group, ranking 75th of 1,046 schools (93rd percentile) and climbing steadily from 114th three years earlier. Its Algebra I proficiency is 100%, and its math and English results run far above state averages. Johnstown Intermediate School ranks 258th of 1,560 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) and has improved each year. It posts the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 9.1% even though it has the highest free/reduced-price lunch rate (30.4%) and the highest student-teacher ratio (18.2). Johnstown Elementary School shows strong early-grade results, with 3rd grade math at 89.2% and ELA at 84.3%, both up from the prior year.
Johnstown High School ranks 211th of 795 (73rd percentile), improved from 3 to 4 stars, and has a 98.3% graduation rate. It beats state averages in every reported subject. Two patterns stand out for parents: high school chronic absenteeism is 30.0%, nearly double the district's 16.7% and more than three times the Intermediate School's 9.1%, and math gets harder after middle school — Algebra I falls from 100% at the middle school to 73.3% at the high school, with Geometry the lowest high school result at 54.9%. Still, every reported school-level test score in Johnstown-Monroe Local is above the state average.
