Summary:
Fort Recovery Local is a small Ohio district with three schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Fort Recovery Elementary School (PK–5, 513 students), Fort Recovery Middle School (6–8, 190 students), and Fort Recovery High School (9–12, 294 students), for about 997 students in total. The district ranks 27th of 773 Ohio districts — 97th percentile, 5 stars — and all three schools earned 5 stars in 2025–2026.
Each school stands out in a different way. The high school is strongest by state ranking, at 21st of 795 high schools, with a 100.0% graduation rate, 100% proficiency in American History, and 96.4% in Biology. The middle school shows the biggest test-score advantage over the state — an average of 87.5% versus 57.1%, a gap of 30.4 percentage points — plus 100% Algebra I proficiency in both years. The elementary school improved from 4 stars to 5 stars and climbed from 204th to 104th statewide, while posting the lowest chronic absenteeism at 2.9%.
Across the district, every listed test score exceeds its state comparison, and the smallest 2025–2026 margin was still above 15 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 2.9% to 4.1%, student-teacher ratios from 18.7 to 19.4, and 2018–2019 per-student spending from $9,008 to $9,558. English language arts is the relatively softer subject, and middle school ELA 8, 6th grade math, and high school English II declined year over year — but all remain above state averages. The middle school's free/reduced lunch rate is not reported.
