Summary:
ZIP code 45871 covers New Knoxville, Ohio, where families are served by two public schools in the New Knoxville Local district: New Knoxville Elementary School (grades K–8, 299 students) and New Knoxville High School (grades 9–12, 111 students), for 410 students total. The district ranks 47th of 773 Ohio districts — the 94th percentile — and holds 5 stars, so both schools sit in the state's top tier. There is no standalone middle school; the K–8 elementary covers the middle grades.
New Knoxville Elementary School is the standout. It ranks 61st of 1,560 schools (96th percentile) with 5 stars, after placing 17th and 24th in the two prior years. Chronic absenteeism is just 3.0%, well below the district's 6.7%. Test results are exceptional: 4th grade math 100% proficient, 5th grade math 96.9%, 7th grade English 100%, 5th grade English 97.1%, Algebra I end-of-course 100%, and 8th grade science 90.3%. The one weak spot is 8th grade math at 47.1% versus the state's 52.0% — still below state, but up sharply from 31.6% a year earlier.
New Knoxville High School is also 5 stars, ranked 78th of 795 (90th percentile), with a 100.0% graduation rate. Most end-of-course scores far exceed state averages: American Government 94.9%, Biology 94.6%, English II 92.1%, Geometry 91.7% against a state average of 43.3%, and American History 87.1%. Algebra I is the clear exception at 57.1%, below the state's 61.6% and down from 90.0%. Its chronic absenteeism, 15.7%, is more than double the district rate and roughly five times the elementary's. The high school also has a much lower student-teacher ratio (7.4 vs. 21.3) and reports 72.97% free/reduced lunch; the elementary's rate is not reported. With only 111 students, single-subject swings should be watched rather than overinterpreted.
