Summary:
ZIP code 45614 in Ohio is served by two schools, both in the Gallia County Local district: River Valley Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 337 students, and River Valley High School, serving grades 9–12 with 392 students. No elementary or alternative schools appear in this data set. The district overall ranks 528 of 773 in Ohio, placing it in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars.
River Valley Middle School is the academic bright spot here. It has earned 3 stars in each of the last three years and ranked 507 of 1,046, or the 52nd percentile, in 2025–2026. It outperformed the district in every reported test in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Its strongest result is Algebra I End of Course: 93.9% proficient in 2025–2026 and 100% in 2024–2025, far above district and state — though this likely reflects a small, advanced cohort taking high-school-level math, so it should be read with caution. Seventh grade math is also notable at 64.8% proficient versus 48.6% statewide. Its clearest weak spot is 6th grade English Language Arts at 44.1%, below the state’s 56.0% but still above the district’s 39.8%. Its rank percentile did slip from 62 to 52, a trend worth watching.
River Valley High School presents a much more mixed picture. It is rated 1 star in each of the last three years and ranked 645 of 795, or the 19th percentile, down from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024. It is below the state in every reported End of Course test; Algebra I was 43.9% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, and Geometry 27.8% versus 43.3%. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 40.6%, nearly double the district’s 22.3%. Yet its graduation rate is 94.9%, above the district’s 92.6% — a striking inconsistency. The high school spends more per student in the available 2018–2019 data ($10,631 versus $8,040), with similar student/teacher ratios (18.1 and 18.4), so spending and class size alone do not explain the gap. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported for either school, limiting context.
