Summary:
ZIP code 43113, centered on Circleville in Pickaway County, Ohio, contains six schools — two elementary, one middle, and three high — serving roughly 3,935 students in grades PK through 12 across three districts.
The area splits sharply between two systems. Logan Elm Local serves about 1,713 students in two schools and is rated 3 stars at the 60th percentile of Ohio districts, while Circleville City serves about 2,114 students in three schools and is rated 1 star at the 24th percentile. Buckeye United School District operates one small specialized high school, Ralph C Starkey (Cjcf), with 108 students and no current district rank.
Logan Elm Elementary School is the clearest bright spot: 3 stars, 64th percentile, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 13.8%, and 2025–26 results above state in 5th-grade science (84.9% vs. 62.7%), 5th-grade ELA (79.4% vs. 70.4%), and 4th-grade math (78.6% vs. 67.3%). Logan Elm Middle/High School is 3 stars, 68th percentile, with a 96.6% graduation rate and strong end-of-course results — Biology 92.1%, Algebra I 84.8% — though Geometry (29.8% vs. 43.3%) and chronic absenteeism (23.2%) lag. Circleville's schools trail state averages: Circleville High School (1 star, 25th percentile) falls below state in nearly every subject; Circleville Middle School (2 stars) reports just 19.1% in 7th-grade math vs. 48.6% state despite a 100% Algebra I result that likely reflects a small advanced group; and Circleville Elementary School dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars. Ralph C Starkey is too small and specialized — 108 students, a 6:1 ratio, and no current performance data — to compare fairly.
