Summary:
ZIP code 44822 has just one public school in this data: Butler Elementary School, an elementary campus in Butler, Ohio serving grades K–5 with 252 students as part of the Clear Fork Valley Local district. Because there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the ZIP, this is a school profile rather than a full K–12 area picture, and there is no second school to compare it against.
Butler Elementary is on a clear upward path. It earned 4 stars in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, up from 3 stars in 2023–2024, and its statewide rank climbed from 633 of 1,577 to 277 of 1,560 — moving from the 60th to the 82nd percentile. In 2025–2026 it scored above the Ohio average in all seven reported grade-subject tests, with the biggest gaps in grade 5 math (+26.0 points) and grade 4 math (+18.1). Grade 4 showed the strongest year-over-year growth, with math up 13.4 points and English language arts up 14.5 points. Average proficiency was 80.8%, essentially matching the district's 80.7% and far ahead of the state's 63.8%. Watch points are grade 5 science, down 9.1 points and now 3.1 points below the district, and slight dips in grade 3 math and ELA — though both stay well above state averages.
Other indicators are encouraging. Chronic absenteeism is 6.9%, about one-third lower than the district's 10.2%. The student-teacher ratio is 12.8, and 44.84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, making the above-state results notable. Per-student spending of $9,631 dates from 2018–2019 and is too old to reflect current funding.
