Summary
Hocking Hills Elementary School is a small PK–6 school in Logan, OH, serving 123 students as part of Logan-Hocking Local. It has generally performed above its district’s overall profile: in 2025–2026 it ranked 204 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), after a recent peak of 59 of 1,558 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025. Apart from a dip to the 55th percentile in 2016–2017, it has mostly ranked between the 70th and 96th percentiles since 2014–2015. Available test data covers grades 3 and 4 only.
Academically, math is the clearest strength: Grade 4 math was 92.6% proficient in 2025–2026 and 100% in 2024–2025, while Grade 3 math was 84.2%, above the state’s 62.1%. ELA Grade 3 was strong at 84.2%, but ELA Grade 4 was the main relative soft spot at 74.1% — above the state’s 61.8%, yet below the district’s 84.7% and down from 95.2% the prior year. The standout subgroup result is for low socio-economic status students: in 2025–2026 it ranked 25 of 1,467 (98th percentile, 5 stars), continuing top 1–5% statewide results in recent years. Staffing is favorable: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.7, better than Green Elementary School (19.3) and Chieftain Elementary School (16.5), close to Central Elementary School (15.5), and higher than Union Furnace Elementary School (12.8).
Within Logan-Hocking Local, Central Elementary School is the current benchmark (31/1,560, 98th percentile, 5 stars in 2025–2026), and Chieftain Elementary School (93/1,560, 94th percentile) also ranked ahead. Union Furnace Elementary School (187/1,560, 88th) and Green Elementary School (223/1,560, 86th) were close behind. Hocking Hills Elementary School generally outperforms nearby out-of-district schools such as Nelsonville-York Elementary School, Bremen Elementary School, and Southeast Ohio Classical Academy, and is competitive with West Elementary and Berne Union Elementary School. The biggest warning sign is chronic absenteeism: it rose to 25.4% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 22.9% and the highest among same-district elementaries, after being below the district in prior years. Because the school is small, single-year swings can be sharp, but its overall academic profile remains well above the state average.
