Summary

Union Furnace Elementary School is a small PK–4 school in Union Furnace, Ohio, in the Hocking County area, serving 184 students as part of Logan-Hocking Local — the second-smallest enrollment among the district's five elementaries. In 2025–2026 it ranked 187th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (88th percentile, 4 stars), down from 45th (97th percentile) the year before. That dip is relative: the school has never fallen below 4 stars in a decade of data and earned 5 stars in six of those years, and its district overall ranks 151st of 773 Ohio districts (80th percentile, 4 stars).

Test results remain well above state averages: the school averages 85.0% proficient across its four tested metrics versus 63.7% statewide. Third grade is the strength — Math (89.5) is the highest of any district elementary and ELA (92.1) is second only to Central Elementary School. Fourth grade is the soft spot, especially ELA at 70.6, the lowest 4th-grade ELA result in the district. Perhaps most notable is how well the school serves students who often struggle elsewhere: its special education students ranked 5th of 914 schools (99th percentile) and its low-income students 26th of 1,467 (98th percentile) in 2025–2026, and in 2024–2025 the special education subgroup was ranked first in Ohio.

Chronic absenteeism is 21.4%, better than the district's 22.9% but higher than nearby Green Elementary School (11.9%), Chieftain Elementary School (12.2%) and Central Elementary School (15.6%). Class sizes are the smallest in the district at a 12.8-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $7,567 (2018–2019) is the district's second-lowest. For context, Trimble Elementary School spends $11,199 per student yet posts far lower proficiency. Small cohorts mean year-to-year numbers can swing on a single class, so weigh the long track record over any one year.
