Summary

Killbuck Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 249 students in grades K-5 in Killbuck, Ohio, which is part of the West Holmes Local School District. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 336 out of 1,588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 (rated 4 stars) to 654 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025 (rated 3 stars), placing it in the middle to lower range of Ohio elementary schools with average performance.

Killbuck Elementary School's performance is mixed, with stronger results in mathematics and science but weaker performance in English Language Arts, particularly for female and white students. However, the school performs better with low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 4-star range in 2022-2023. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 8.0% in 2024-2025 to 19.0% in 2022-2023, are a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakeville Elementary School and Millersburg Elementary School, both in the West Holmes Local District, as well as Chestnut Ridge Elementary School in the neighboring East Holmes Local District, generally outperform Killbuck Elementary School in terms of test scores and statewide rankings.
