Summary

Killbuck Elementary School is a K–5 school in the rural village of Killbuck, Ohio, serving 221 students as part of West Holmes Local, a 3-star district ranked 291st of 773 Ohio districts. In 2025–26 the school ranked 668th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 57th percentile, also 3 stars. That's mid-range, and it's a step down from earlier highs: Killbuck reached the 79th percentile in 2021–22 and the 77th percentile in 2018–19.

Attendance is Killbuck's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism fell from 17.4% in 2022–23 to 6.0% in 2025–26 — well below the district's 14.3% and better than same-district peers like Lakeville Elementary (7.2%), Nashville Elementary (9.1%) and River View Intermediate (13.6%). Academically, Killbuck's seven tested areas average about 69.1% proficient — above Ohio's roughly 63.8% but below the West Holmes district average of about 73.5%. Fourth grade is a genuine bright spot: 86.0% in math (nearly matching the district's 86.1% and far above the state's 67.3%) and 79.1% in ELA, beating the district by 8.7 points. Fifth grade is the weak spot: math was 57.6% and reading 69.7%, both below district and state, and 5th-grade math has trailed the district in every recent year.

Killbuck serves more economic need than many higher-ranked neighbors: 56.56% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, compared with about 10–22% at East Holmes schools like Walnut Creek Elementary and Chestnut Ridge Elementary. Within its own district, Millersburg Elementary ranks higher (80th percentile), while Killbuck is ahead of Lakeville and well ahead of the River View schools. The school also reports relatively high per-student spending ($11,204 in 2018–19, the highest nearby) and an improved student-teacher ratio of 17. The main areas to watch are 5th-grade performance and uneven results across student groups.
