Summary:
Jennings Local is a small Ohio district with just two schools serving about 322 students: Fort Jennings Elementary School for grades K–5 and Fort Jennings High School for grades 6–12, so the high school also houses the district's middle-grade students. The district ranks 99 of 773 in Ohio, in the 87th percentile with 4 stars.
Fort Jennings High School stands out for graduation and upper-level results. It ranks 111 of 795 schools in 2025–2026, in the 86th percentile with 4 stars, up from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is 100.0%, and proficiency is strong: American History 93.9%, 8th Grade Mathematics 92.9%, Biology 90.9%, American Government 90.6%, 8th Grade ELA 85.7%, English II 84.8% and Algebra I 81.3%. The one weak spot is Geometry at 42.4% against the state's 43.3% — the only reported 2025–2026 school test below the state figure. Chronic absenteeism is 9.9%, above the district's 6.8%.
Fort Jennings Elementary School stands out for improvement and attendance. It ranks 304 of 1,560, in the 81st percentile with 4 stars, up from the 64th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024. All seven reported 2025–2026 tests beat the state: ELA 5th Grade 86.2%, ELA 4th Grade 85.2%, Mathematics 5th Grade 82.8%, Mathematics 4th Grade 81.5%, Mathematics 3rd Grade 80.0%, ELA 3rd Grade 80.0% and Science 5th Grade 65.5%. Chronic absenteeism is 3.6%, well below the district's 6.8%, and 33.78% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Across both schools, 19 of 20 reported 2025–2026 tests were above the state. With only 322 students, single-year swings can be volatile, so watch Geometry and high school attendance. The elementary also had a lower student/teacher ratio (11.6 vs. 12.7) and higher per-student spending ($10,510 vs. $9,304, 2018–19 and dated).
