Summary:
Tri-Valley Local is a six-school Ohio district — four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school — serving roughly 2,785 students (the grade ranges overlap, so this is a rough total) across the Dresden, Nashport, Frazeysburg and Adamsville area. The district ranks 184th of 773 in Ohio, in the 76th percentile with 4 stars, and its elementary schools are clearly its engine: all four are rated 4 or 5 stars and they beat the state in nearly every reported test.
Nashport Elementary School is the model school — 125th of 1,560 (92nd percentile), the only 5-star school, with 97.8% proficiency in 4th grade math, 91.5% in 5th grade math and 90.1% in 5th grade science. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.2%) and the lowest FRPL rate (35.37%). Adamsville Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from 2 stars/48th percentile to 4 stars/72nd percentile even with the highest FRPL rate (55.29%); its 5th grade science reached 100%. Dresden Elementary School is steady at 4 stars across all three years, though it has the highest student/teacher ratio (24.5) and lowest spending ($7,580, from 2018–19 data). Frazeysburg Elementary School has slipped from 5 stars/91st percentile to 4 stars/77th percentile, with 4th grade ELA at 54.5% — below the state's 61.8% — and 17.3% absenteeism.
At the secondary level, Tri-Valley Middle School posts near-perfect Algebra I proficiency (100% in 2025–26, 97.2% the year before) but has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 17.8%. Tri-Valley High School is strong in American History (88.2%), English II (84.4%) and Biology (83.3%) with a 97.3% graduation rate, but Geometry is the district's clearest red flag at 39.7%, below the state's 43.3%. Across Tri-Valley Local, 44 of 48 reported tests topped the state average in 2025–26, and 5th grade is a standout: 85.7% science and 84.8% math versus 62.7% and 59.1% statewide.
