Benjamin Logan Local

Benjamin Logan Local is a K–12 Ohio district made up of three schools — Benjamin Logan Elementary School (K–4, 587 students), Benjamin Logan Middle School (5–8, 496 students) and Benjamin Logan High School (9–12, 508 students) — serving about 1,591 students in total. The Benjamin Logan Local district is rated 3 stars and ranks 313 of 773 districts, at the 60th percentile. Keep in mind the data mixes years: test scores and absenteeism are mostly 2025–2026, free/reduced lunch and student-teacher ratios are 2024–2025, and per-student spending is from 2018–2019.

The middle school is the academic standout, earning 4 stars in each of the last three years and ranking in the top quartile of Ohio middle schools (73rd percentile in 2025–2026). Its scores are consistently above the state — 8th-grade science at 82.4% vs. 61.2%, 5th-grade math at 76.1% vs. 59.1% — and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism of the three at 8.4%. The elementary school is steady and generally above state averages, holding 3 stars with rank percentiles between 59 and 65, and ELA proficiency around 72–73% against state rates near 62–63%. Its absenteeism is 10.8%, below the district's 12.0%. One item to watch: 3rd-grade math finished only 0.4 points above the state in 2025–2026, after a +11.3 point margin the year before.

The high school combines real strengths with warning signs. It reports a 100% graduation rate and solid 2025–2026 results in American Government (81% vs. 71.6%), Geometry (53.6% vs. 43.3%) and Biology (70.1% vs. 67%). However, its ranking has fallen from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to 50th in 2025–2026, and its star rating dropped from 4 to 3. Chronic absenteeism there is 18.0%, the highest of the three schools and well above the district's 12.0%, while American History (72.5%) and Algebra I (59.6%) are at or slightly below state levels. Notably, the high school has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (32.28%) yet the highest absenteeism, so attendance here appears driven by factors beyond that measure alone. In short: a strong middle school, a solid elementary school, and a high school with a perfect graduation rate but areas worth monitoring.
