Summary

Millcreek Elementary School is a PK–6 elementary school at 10397 State Route 155 SE in Corning, Ohio (Perry County), serving 346 students as the elementary campus of the Southern Local district in rural southeastern Ohio. The district overall ranks 605th of 773 Ohio districts (22nd percentile, 1 star), while Millcreek Elementary School earns 2 stars — the elementary building is the bright spot in its own district.

On state tests, Millcreek sits in the lower-middle of Ohio elementary schools, ranking between the 32nd and 41st percentile over the last four years — a clear step up from its 25th–28th percentile trough in 2017–19. Third-grade reading is a genuine strength (83.3% proficient in 2025–26, well above the state) and fifth-grade science (65.9%) also beats the state line. Fourth grade is the opposite story: 31.9% proficient in reading and 35.4% in math, roughly 30 points below the state, and fourth-grade math has trailed the state by about 38 points on average across four years. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply from 36.5% to 19.6%, consistently better than the district, and the student–teacher ratio of 11.1 is the lowest of nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Millcreek's third-grade reading beats its closest peers — New Lexington Elementary School, Crooksville Elementary School, Trimble Elementary School and Nelsonville-York Elementary School — but its fourth-grade results rank near the bottom of the region. The Central Elementary School, Union Furnace Elementary School and Green Elementary School campuses of Logan-Hocking Local, about 13–15 miles away, outscore Millcreek on every reported measure while spending roughly 25–30% less per student. The clearest thing to watch is the fourth-grade transition, where students consistently fall behind.
