Summary

Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School is a public PK–6 school with 673 students on Tusky Valley Rd in Zoarville, Ohio, a rural community in Tuscarawas County, where it is the elementary arm of Tuscarawas Valley Local. In 2025–26 it ranked 583rd of 1,560 Ohio elementaries — 63rd percentile, 3 stars — comfortably above the state median but its lowest percentile in nine years, down from a high-water mark of 86th percentile in 2018–19. The trend has slipped three years running: 75th percentile in 2023–24, 70th in 2024–25, and 63rd now. The district as a whole ranks 78th percentile with 4 stars, higher than this building.

Math and science are the school's engine. It beat the state in 7 of 9 reported grade/subject combinations, by an average of +10.8 points in math and +11.1 in 5th-grade science, and its math proficiency has exceeded the state in every grade and every year measured. Attendance is the quiet success story: chronic absenteeism fell from 13.6% to 6.0% over five years, staying below the district every year and running less than half the 13.9% at Sandy Valley Elementary School, the closest school just 3.55 miles away. That neighbor's district ranks 48th percentile, and Tuscarawas Valley beats it in every shared grade and subject. The school is also notably effective with its low-income students, who rank in the 86th–91st percentile — well above the school's own 63rd percentile.

The soft spots are intermediate-grade literacy and the recent slide. Fourth-grade ELA (56.3 vs. 61.8 statewide) is the lowest among nearby schools reporting that grade, and sixth-grade ELA (53.8) fell below state after a roughly 22-point single-year drop for that same group of students. Fifth-grade ELA (79.6), by contrast, is second-best locally. Lohr Elementary School currently outranks Tuscarawas Valley in every shared grade and subject, and the school spends $8,684 per student — less than most nearby schools with comparable or better results. Data gaps include no reported low-income percentage for 2024–25 and only one year of spending figures.
