Schools in Zip Code 43731

ZIP code 43731 is served by the Crooksville Exempted Village district and has three public schools serving PK–12: Crooksville Elementary School (PK–4, 450 students), Crooksville Middle School (5–8, 317 students), and Crooksville High School (9–12, 305 students), for 1,072 students total; the district ranks 597 of 773, 23rd percentile, 1 star, and free/reduced-lunch data are not reported.

Among the three, Crooksville Elementary School is the strongest overall: 863 of 1,560, 45th percentile, 2 stars in 2025–2026, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 20.4%. Its 3rd grade ELA score is 73.1% proficient vs. 63.4% statewide. Crooksville High School has a 95.4% graduation rate, equal to the district, but most End-of-Course results are below state: Geometry 18.9% vs. 43.3%, English II 46.2% vs. 62.7%, Algebra I 42.0% vs. 61.6%. Crooksville Middle School is the main concern: chronic absenteeism is 27.0% (above the district’s 22.9%), its rank fell to 754 of 1,046, 28th percentile, 1 star, and 8th grade math is 10.9% vs. 52.0% statewide, with 8th grade ELA at 29.3% vs. 58.3%. Its Algebra I EOC is a standout at 54.5% vs. the district’s 43.8% and the high school’s 42.0%, though this may reflect a selected test-taking group.

Key patterns: math is a district-wide weakness, with elementary math below state and middle/high simple test averages far below state averages (−13.6 and −14.8 points). Early ELA strength fades: 3rd grade ELA is 73.1% and 5th grade ELA 72.5% (both above state), but 8th grade ELA falls to 29.3% and English II is 46.2%. Per-student spending from 2018–2019 rises with grade level—$8,341 elementary, $10,113 middle, $10,575 high—but outcomes do not follow the same pattern. Year-over-year results are volatile: some scores rose sharply, such as elementary 3rd grade ELA from 48.8% to 73.1% and high-school Algebra I from 19.0% to 42.0%, while middle-school 8th grade math fell from 30.2% to 10.9%. Overall, the area has a relatively stronger elementary profile, a middle school with absenteeism and achievement concerns, and a high school with strong graduation but weak state-test proficiency, especially in math and Geometry.
