Summary:
Indian Valley Local serves roughly 1,589 students across four schools in Ohio: two K–5 elementaries (Midvale Elementary School and Port Washington Elementary School), one middle school for grades 6–8 (Tuscarawas Middle School), and one high school for grades 9–12 (Indian Valley High School). The district is ranked 183 of 773 in Ohio, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars.
Port Washington Elementary is the strongest school here: 87th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, after 5-star years in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024. It outscored Midvale on all seven reported elementary tests in 2025–2026 (simple average about 83.7% versus 73.4%) and posted the lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.1%, well under the district's 13.3%. Midvale sits at the 66th percentile with 3 stars and 11.6% absenteeism; it still beats state averages in most subjects, except 4th grade ELA (59.2% versus 61.8% statewide). Tuscarawas Middle stands out in math — 100% proficient in Algebra I in both years, with 7th grade math at 71.6% versus 48.6% statewide — though its 18.0% absenteeism is the highest of the four.
Indian Valley High School is above state averages in every 2025–2026 End-of-Course subject, including American History (87.2% versus 73.2%) and Biology (81.6% versus 67.0%), with a 98.5% graduation rate; geometry is the clear weak spot at 44.9%, below the district's 46.7%, and its absenteeism of 17.0% also runs above the district rate. Spending and class size do not track results neatly: the high school reports the highest per-pupil spending ($10,716) and smallest classes, while Port Washington has the largest classes (20.5 students per teacher) yet the best outcomes — though the spending figures are from 2018–2019 and are dated.
