Summary:
Logan Elm Local in Ohio serves 1,713 students across two schools: Logan Elm Elementary School (PK–5, 814 students) and Logan Elm Middle/High School (grades 6–12, 899 students), with no standalone middle school or alternative school. The district ranks 310th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 60th percentile with 3 stars, and both schools also carry 3 stars.
The academic picture is split. Science is the clearest strength: 5th-grade science at the elementary school is 84.9% proficient versus 62.7% statewide, and high school Biology is 92.1% versus 67.0% statewide. Algebra I (84.8%), American History (84.3%), and English II (74.1%) are also well above state averages, and the Middle/High School improved year over year in Biology, English II, and Algebra I. The elementary school also performs well in 4th-grade math (78.6%) and 4th- and 5th-grade ELA. Middle-grade results are the weak spot — 7th-grade math (42.4%), 8th-grade ELA (50.8%), and Geometry (29.8% versus 43.3% state) all fall below state averages, and 7th- and 8th-grade ELA declined noticeably.
Attendance is the biggest non-academic concern. Chronic absenteeism at the Middle/High School is 23.2%, compared with 18.8% districtwide and just 13.8% at the elementary school — a positive sign for early engagement. Poverty indicators are nearly identical (about 46.6% and 46.9% free/reduced lunch), yet the two schools differ in attendance and results. The Middle/High School has a 16:1 student-teacher ratio and $10,258 per-student spending (2018–19); the elementary has 18:1 and $9,618. Both sit at or above the district's percentile standing in their latest rankings. One caution: the elementary school reports 100% proficiency in 6th-grade math in both years, which likely reflects a small cohort or reporting anomaly.
