Summary:
Scioto Valley Local in Ohio serves about 1,127 students across just two schools — one elementary covering PK–4 and one combined junior/senior high serving grades 5–12 — and the district as a whole ranks 583 of 773 schools, in the 25th percentile with 1 star, with chronic absenteeism at 29.9%. Because there are only two schools, the district results are heavily shaped by both buildings, and district-level numbers should be read alongside each school's own profile.
Jasper Elementary School is the stronger of the two on most measures. It ranks 970 of 1,560 schools (38th percentile, 2 stars) and has notably lower chronic absenteeism at 24.6%, compared with 33.7% at Piketon Junior/Senior High School. Jasper's third grade is a clear bright spot: 75.6% proficient in ELA versus 63.4% statewide, and 64.6% in math versus 62.1%. Its fourth grade, however, is a sharp weak point, with math at 47.1% versus 67.3% and ELA at 43.3% versus 61.8%. Jasper also has a smaller student-teacher ratio (14.7 versus 20.6), which may matter for families weighing class sizes.
Piketon Junior/Senior High presents a split picture. Its 95.5% graduation rate is a strong completion signal, and results in American Government (83.5% versus 71.6%) and fifth grade Science (74.4% versus 62.7%) are above state averages. Yet math is broadly weak — Geometry stands out at 20.2% versus 43.3%, seventh grade math at 28.2% versus 48.6%, and sixth grade math at 36.6% versus 56.2% — and its rank has slipped from the 38th to the 26th percentile over three years, dropping from 2 stars to 1. Families should note that free/reduced lunch is not reported for either school, spending figures date to 2018-19, and the two schools serve different grade spans, so their rankings are not directly comparable.
