Summary

Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School is a combined grade 7–12 campus in Zoarville, Ohio, serving 555 students as the only secondary school in the Tuscarawas Valley Local district, located in a rural and small-town area of Tuscarawas County. In 2025–2026 it ranked 103rd of 795 Ohio high schools — 87th percentile, 4 stars — placing it well above its district's overall standing.

Proficiency is the headline: on the 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests, every reported measure at the school came in above the state average, by an average of roughly 16 points across 11 assessments. The strongest results are in math and science, and they are consistent, not one-year flukes — Geometry has beaten the state by 27–30 points in each of the last four years, and Biology by 21–26 points. Against nearby comprehensive high schools, the school leads on 5 of 6 End-of-Course subjects: Algebra I (79.8 vs. 64.8 at New Philadelphia High School and 64.3 at Strasburg-Franklin High School), Geometry (73.3, about 30 points above the state and well clear of Dover High School at 41.2), Biology (88.0), Government (91.5) and a near-tie in English II. The clearest soft spot is 7th-grade math at 51.5%, its smallest margin over the state (+2.9) and its lowest absolute score; 8th-grade math, at 80.4% vs. a 52.0% state average, shows how much growth happens in the following year.

The school's most distinctive strength is its results for low-income students, ranked 13th of 761 schools — 98th percentile, 5 stars — after a top-1% finish the prior year. Attendance and completion also stand out: a 100.0% graduation rate and 9.6% chronic absenteeism, the lowest of any comparable nearby high school and far below Sandy Valley High School (33.5%), Canton South High School (26.5%) and New Philadelphia High School (25.2%). With a student-teacher ratio of 16.3 and per-student spending of $10,426 (2018–2019, the most recent available), the school produces top-tier results at roughly mid-pack regional spending.
