While the district is ranked 417 out of 828 in Ohio and has a 2-star rating, the data reveals some standout schools within the area.
Pymatuning Valley Primary Elementary School stands out with strong test scores, particularly in math, where 84.1% of 3rd graders and 81.5% of 4th graders are proficient or better, significantly higher than state averages. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 21.6, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 26.4%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the high schools, including the virtual school, show lower proficiency rates, particularly in subjects like Geometry and English II, suggesting a potential academic performance gap as students progress through the school system. The schools also serve a population with significant economic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 65.91% to 72.49%, which may impact educational outcomes and require additional support and resources.
