Summary

In 2025–2026, it ranks 654th of 795 Ohio high schools, placing it in the 18th percentile with 1 star; the district ranks 597th of 773. This is not a one-year drop: the school has earned 1 star every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, with percentile ranks between 16 and 27. Among nearby district high schools with current ranks, it is above only Miller High School and below Zanesville High School, Philo High School, New Lexington High School, Maysville High School, West Muskingum High School, and Sheridan High School.
Academically, Crooksville’s 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests proficiency rates are below state averages in every reported End-of-Course subject. Geometry is the largest gap: 18.9% versus 43.3% statewide, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that subject. Algebra I is 42.0% versus 61.6% statewide, English II is 46.2% versus 62.7%, and American Government is 56.6% versus 71.6%. Biology is the relative bright spot at 63.5%, only 3.5 points below the state average and ahead of some nearby schools. Recent trends are mixed: Algebra I improved from 8.3% in 2023–2024 to 42.0% in 2025–2026, and Biology rose from 48.9% to 63.5%, but American Government fell from 69.7% to 56.6% and English II declined from 52.6% to 46.2%.
Attendance and graduation show a different picture. Chronic absenteeism is 21.5%, lower than every nearby school with comparable data, including Sheridan High School (22.4%), West Muskingum High School (30.2%), Maysville High School (30.1%), New Lexington High School (33.8%), and Zanesville High School (37.6%), though it has risen from 17.8% in 2024–2025. The graduation rate is 95.4%, lower than most nearby schools but above Miller High School (93.1%) and within its recent 91.8%–97.5% range. Most students graduate, but test scores suggest many do not meet state standards. Enrollment is 305, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 19.1, and 2018–2019 per-student spending was $10,575—higher than several nearby schools—so available data do not suggest a simple funding or extreme class-size disadvantage.
