Summary:
Tuscarawas Valley Local is a small Ohio district with just two schools serving roughly 1,228 students: Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School, which serves grades PK–6 with 673 students, and Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School, which serves grades 7–12 with 555 students. There is no separate middle school in the district; grades 7 and 8 are combined with the high school. Tuscarawas Valley Local ranks 173rd of 773 districts statewide — the 78th percentile — with 4 stars.
The Middle-High is clearly the stronger of the two schools. It ranked at the 87th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, after peaking at the 90th percentile with 5 stars in 2024–2025. Its graduation rate is 100.0%, and it outperforms the state in every test reported here — from Geometry at 73.3% versus the state's 43.3%, to its narrowest margin, Mathematics 7th Grade at 51.5% versus 48.6%. The one caution is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 9.6%, higher than the district's 7.5%.
The elementary school is still above state in most subjects but is trending downward, slipping from the 75th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026. Its only reported 2025–2026 results below state are both in ELA: grade 4 at 56.3% versus 61.8%, and grade 6 at 53.8% versus 56.0%. Its chronic absenteeism of 6.0% is better than the district's 7.5%. Two data notes for parents: the reported elementary student-teacher ratio of 134.6 is implausible and likely a data-entry issue, and free/reduced lunch information is unknown rather than zero. Spending figures come from 2018–2019, when the Middle-High reported $10,426 per student versus $8,684 at the elementary school.
