Summary:
The Scioto Valley Local school district in Ohio contains two schools: Piketon Junior/Senior High School, a high school, and Jasper Elementary School, an elementary school. The district is ranked 567 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Piketon Junior/Senior High School stands out for its high 4-year graduation rate of 96.0%, which is significantly above the state average. However, the school's performance on state tests is mixed, with some subject areas scoring well above the state average and others significantly below. Jasper Elementary School has stronger performance on 3rd and 4th grade math and English language arts tests compared to the district and state averages, suggesting effective teaching practices or curriculum at the elementary level.
Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, at 24.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is an area of concern that warrants further investigation. The difference in student-teacher ratios between the high school (19.8) and elementary school (15.5) may also contribute to the varying performance levels between the two schools, with smaller class sizes at the elementary level potentially being a factor in the stronger academic outcomes.
