Summary

Federal Hocking High School is a small public high school in Stewart, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 211 students as part of Federal Hocking Local. In 2025–26, the school ranked 666 of 795 (16th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranked 541 of 773 (30th percentile, 2 stars), suggesting the high school is underperforming relative to its own district. Its rank fell from the 36th percentile in 2021–22 to 16th in 2025–26. Nearby, Alexander Junior / Senior High School, Belpre High School, Athens High School, and Warren High School rank higher, while Nelsonville-York High School, Meigs High School, Trimble High School, and Eastern High School sit in the same bottom cluster.

Graduation is a relative strength: 96.4% in 2025–26, above the district’s 94.6% and above most nearby schools, including Athens High School (94.1%), Trimble High School (90.2%), Nelsonville-York High School (89.2%), Belpre High School (89.0%), and Meigs High School (82.4%), though below Warren High School (97.6%) and Eastern High School (96.9%). It improved from 87.2% in 2023–24 and 88.3% in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 39.0%, much higher than the district’s 26.9% and worse than Alexander Junior / Senior High School (25.9%) and Warren High School (18.1%), but better than Nelsonville-York High School (44.1%), Meigs High School (50.5%), Trimble High School (42.7%), and Eastern High School (45.6%); it has improved from 51.9% in 2021–22 but remains a major concern.

In 2025–26, the school was below the state in every reported End-of-Course subject, including American Government 44.4% vs. 71.6%, English II 50% vs. 62.7%, Geometry 8.5% vs. 43.3%, and Algebra I 42.5% vs. 61.6%. Geometry is the sharpest weakness—8.5% proficient, the lowest among nearby schools. Subgroup effectiveness was low: male students 11th percentile, female 23rd, low socio-economic status 17th, and special education 9th, down from 54th in 2024–25. The school reported $11,644 per-student spending in 2018–19, highest among nearby schools with reported spending, and a 98.58% free/reduced-lunch rate in 2023–24. With only 211 students, year-to-year swings are possible, but the multi-year below-state English II and very low Geometry results suggest systemic challenges.
