Summary:
ZIP code 44637 is served by a single public school — Killbuck Elementary School, a K–5 building with 221 students in the West Holmes Local district. The ZIP has no middle, high, or alternative schools listed, so older students attend school elsewhere in the district. The district itself ranks 291 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars.
Killbuck's clearest strengths are attendance and 4th grade results. Chronic absenteeism was 6.0% in 2025–26, less than half the district's 14.3%. In 2025–26 4th grade, math reached 86% proficient — essentially tied with the district's 86.1% and 18.7 points above the state's 67.3% — while ELA hit 79.1%, 8.7 points above the district and 17.3 points above the state. Overall, the school beat the state in 5 of 7 reported tests in 2025–26 and 6 of 7 in 2024–25, with a simple average proficiency of 69.1 against the state's 63.8.
The main watch point is 5th grade in 2025–26: math was 57.6% (below the state's 59.1% and the district's 70.8%), ELA was 69.7% (below the state's 70.4% and the district's 83.1%), and science was 63.6% (above the state's 62.7% but below the district's 70.8%). Killbuck trailed its own high-performing district in 6 of 7 tests that year. The school has held 3 stars for three years, though its statewide percentile slipped from 60 to 58 to 57. For context, it reported 56.56% free/reduced lunch and a 17:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, and per-student spending of $11,204 in 2018–19. In short, this is a solid, middle-to-slightly-above-middle school with strong attendance and uneven results across grades.
