Best High Schools in Zip Code 43113

Zip code 43113 covers Circleville, Ohio, and the surrounding area, and this data set includes three high schools serving grades 6–12, 9–12, and 8–12, with a combined reported enrollment of about 1,535 students.

Logan Elm Middle/High School is the standout of the group. It is the largest school here (899 students, grades 6–12) and ranks 255 of 795 schools statewide — the 68th percentile with 3 stars — making it the top-ranked school in Logan Elm Local. It scored above the state average in five of six End-of-Course subjects, with particularly strong results in Biology (92.1% vs. 67%), Algebra I (84.8% vs. 61.6%), and American History (84.3% vs. 73.2%). Its weak spot is Geometry, where proficiency is 29.8% against a state average of 43.3%. Circleville High School (528 students, grades 9–12) sits much lower, ranking 596 of 795 — the 25th percentile with 1 star — within Circleville City. It beat the state in only one subject, American History, though that score jumped sharply from 59.2% to 74.6%, the biggest bright spot in its data. Ralph C Starkey (Cjcf), part of Buckeye United School District, is a specialized setting of just 108 students with a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and 97.22% free/reduced lunch; it has no current test, graduation, or absenteeism data, so it is not directly comparable.

Both comprehensive high schools graduate most of their students — 96.6% at Logan Elm and 95.7% at Circleville — yet chronic absenteeism is high at both (23.2% and 26.9%), above their district averages. Spending per student is nearly identical ($10,258 vs. $10,325 in 2018–19) and does not explain the achievement gap. Keep in mind that Logan Elm includes grades 6–8, Circleville's free/reduced lunch figure is unreported, and Ralph C Starkey lacks current performance data, so comparisons should be read with those limits in mind.
