Summary:

ZIP code 45656 covers Oak Hill, Ohio, where two schools — Oak Hill Elementary, serving grades PK–5, and Oak Hill Middle/High School, serving grades 6–12 — operate within the Oak Hill Union Local district, together enrolling about 1,110 students. The data cover school rankings from 2023–24 through 2025–26, test scores for 2024–25 and 2025–26, chronic absenteeism, graduation rate, student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending from 2018–19.

The two schools have very different profiles. Oak Hill Elementary is the stronger performer in math — 4th grade math at 90.1% proficient versus the state's 67.3%, and 5th grade math at 77.3% versus 59.1%. Its chronic absenteeism is 13.7%, far below the district's 22.8%. Oak Hill Middle/High School is improving, rising from the 34th to the 52nd percentile and from 2 to 3 stars, with End-of-Course results above state in English II (81.3% vs 62.7%), Biology (78.2% vs 67.0%), American History (83.3% vs 73.2%), and Algebra I (70.6% vs 61.6%). Its graduation rate is 89.4%. Both schools earned 3 stars even though the district is listed at 2 stars and the 47th percentile.

The biggest divide is attendance: the middle/high school's 30.8% chronic absenteeism is more than double the elementary's and is pulling the district rate upward. The elementary's weak spot is 3rd grade ELA (46.9% vs 63.4%), and its rank has slipped from the 67th to the 54th percentile. At the middle/high school, Geometry (32.9% vs 43.3%), 8th grade ELA (41.8% vs 58.3%), and 6th grade math and ELA remain below state. The elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.1 vs 16.3). The clearest priorities are high school absenteeism, middle-grade literacy and math, Geometry, and early elementary ELA.
