Summary

Buckeye Central High School is a small rural public high school in New Washington, Ohio, in Crawford County, serving about 185 students in grades 9–12 — roughly 45 students per grade — as the only high school in the Buckeye Central Local district. Statewide, it ranks 235th of 795 Ohio high schools, or the 70th percentile with 4 stars, placing it in the top third of the state.

In 2025–26 the school beat the Ohio average in all six End-of-Course subjects. Geometry is the standout: 65.5% proficiency versus 43.3% statewide, the highest among the nearby high schools — ahead of Shelby High School (60.6%), Willard High School (52.0%), Seneca East High School (50.0%) and Col Crawford High School (48.8%). The 98.1% graduation rate is second only to the three nearby schools at 100% (Wynford High School, Col Crawford High School and Bucyrus Secondary School) and far ahead of Crestline High School's 87.5%. Buckeye Central belongs to a tight top-five cluster — with Wynford, Col Crawford, Seneca East and Shelby — separated by less than four points on average proficiency. Its nearest peer by rank is Shelby High School: 234 versus 235 of 795.

Chronic absenteeism has nearly halved, from 24.3% in 2021–22 to 13.4% in 2025–26 — third-lowest among the nearby schools behind Col Crawford High School (6.6%) and Plymouth High School (13.2%), and roughly half the rate at Bucyrus Secondary School (30.2%) and Galion High School (27.2%). Buckeye Central also spends the most per student in the comparison set ($15,275 in 2018–19) while running a mid-pack 14.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and its low-income students score above the school's own overall standing (85th percentile). Algebra I is the consistent soft spot, trailing the district's own figure each year. Some data is unavailable: free/reduced-price lunch figures are blank for recent years, so the school's poverty rate cannot be determined.
