Summary

Chillicothe Intermediate School is a public school in Chillicothe, Ohio, serving roughly 719 students in grades 3–6 as part of the Chillicothe City district. It ranks 1,137th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (27th percentile, 1 star), and the district ranks 563rd of 773. The school has landed between the 27th and 36th percentile every year for a decade, and 2025–2026 is its lowest mark in that span.

Academically, the school scored below Ohio proficiency levels in every reported grade and subject. The weakest areas are 6th-grade math (31.2 vs. 56.2 statewide) and 5th-grade ELA (48.0 vs. 70.4), which has fallen from 59.3 in 2022–2023. Sixth-grade ELA is also low at 38.9 vs. 56.0. There are bright spots: 4th-grade math rose from 40.9 in 2023–2024 to 53.4, and 5th-grade science recovered from 41.9 to 53.1.

Chronic absenteeism is 31.2% in 2025–2026 — better than the district's 35.2% and down sharply from 48.5% in 2021–2022, but still the highest among nearby comparison schools, including Adena (9.3%), Zane Trace (11.4%), Logan Elm (13.8%), and Huntington (26.0%).
