Summary

Buckskin Elementary School is a small K–5 school in South Salem, Ohio, serving 202 students as part of the Greenfield Exempted Village district. The district ranks 413 of 773 Ohio districts (47th percentile, 2 stars), and Buckskin Elementary School itself ranks 935 of 1,560 elementary schools — the 40th percentile, with 2 stars. That is a step down from 2021–22 and 2022–23, when the school sat at the 56th and 57th percentiles with 3 stars.

Attendance is the clearest bright spot. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27.5% in 2021–22 to 11.7% in 2025–26, below the district's 12.7% and better than most nearby schools, including Greenfield Elementary School (12.2%), Unioto Elementary (15.2%), and Huntington Elementary School (26.0%). Buckskin also has the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 13.4 in 2024–25. Academically, 5th grade ELA (76.5% proficient, above the state's 70.4%) and 5th grade science (67.6%, above the state's 62.7%) are relative strengths.

The main weakness is 5th grade math: 38.2% proficient, versus 62.5% for the district and 59.1% for the state, and below nearly every nearby school with comparable data. Fourth grade math and ELA are also below state averages. Among same-district peers, Rainsboro Elementary School now ranks at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, while Greenfield Elementary sits at the 43rd percentile — making Buckskin the lowest-ranked of the three, though only slightly behind Greenfield. One encouraging subgroup result: students from low-income backgrounds rank at the 54th percentile with 3 stars, higher than the school's overall 40th percentile. A few data caveats: the small enrollment means grade-level results can swing from one cohort to the next, and some figures — including 2024–25 free/reduced lunch and most special education subgroup data — are not reported.
