Summary:
Elementary schools in Scioto Valley Local come down to a single building: Jasper Elementary School in Piketon, Ohio. It serves prekindergarten through 4th grade, enrolls 486 students, and has a 14.7 student-to-teacher ratio — roughly 33 teachers. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, its results are the district's elementary-level results, so there is no side-by-side school comparison to make. Instead, here is what matters about this one school.
The 2025–2026 results tell a tale of two grade levels. Third grade is the bright spot: 75.6% proficient in English language arts, 12.2 points above the state's 63.4%, and 64.6% in math, 2.5 points above the state. Fourth grade is the mirror image: 47.1% in math and 43.3% in ELA, both roughly 18–20 points below the state. The year before, the pattern was nearly reversed. Since Ohio's 3rd graders become 4th graders, the class that posted 49.1% in 3rd-grade math in 2024–2025 is very plausibly the same group that posted 47.1% in 4th-grade math in 2025–2026 — barely changed. That cohort has been below the state in every measured subject across both years, and its ELA shortfall widened rather than closed. Meanwhile, the incoming 3rd-grade class arrived strong.
Overall, Jasper is a stable, mid-pack school: 2 stars, ranked 970 of 1,560 (38th percentile), with its four-cell average essentially flat over three years. Notably, the building's rank sits above the district's 1-star, 25th-percentile rating, suggesting the elementary level is a relative strength within the district. Chronic absenteeism is 24.6% — better than the district's 29.9%, but still about 1 in 4 students missing enough school to affect learning. Free/reduced-price lunch data was not reported, so results cannot be adjusted for poverty.
