Summary:
Zip code 45778 in Stewart, Ohio contains just one public high school: Federal Hocking High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 211 students as part of the Federal Hocking Local district.
Because it is the only high school in the area, families have a single option to consider, and its profile is mixed. On the positive side, the graduation rate is high at 96.4%, above the district's 94.6%, and American History proficiency climbed from 43.1% to 61.4% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Biology was also above the state in 2024–2025, at 67.3% versus 65.4%. The concerns are more significant: chronic absenteeism is 39.0% compared with 26.9% district-wide, and the school was ranked 666 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 16th percentile with 1 star. The district overall ranks 541 of 773, or the 30th percentile, with 2 stars.
Test results are the biggest red flag. In 2025–2026, no tested subject reached the state proficiency rate. Geometry is the sharpest weakness at 8.5% proficient, versus 10.4% in the district and 43.3% statewide. American Government (44.4%) and Algebra I (42.5%) also trail the state by wide margins. Across the six tested subjects, the school averaged about 44.0% proficiency against roughly 63.2% statewide. Results swing widely from year to year, which is common at a school this size, and the school's percentile rank has slipped from 29 to 27 to 16 over three years. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 15:1 in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $11,644 in 2018–2019, and free/reduced lunch data was not reported.
