Summary:
The city of Crooksville, Ohio is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Crooksville Elementary School, Crooksville Middle School, and Crooksville High School. While the schools in the Crooksville Exempted Village district generally underperform the state average on standardized tests, there are some standout areas worth highlighting.
Crooksville Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, exceeding the state average. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% compared to the middle and high schools. Crooksville Middle School outperforms the district and state in 5th grade Science proficiency and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.6, which could contribute to better learning outcomes. At the high school level, Crooksville High School maintains a strong 97.5% four-year graduation rate, which is commendable, and performs well in American Government and American History end-of-course exams.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including consistent underperformance on standardized tests, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.7% to 20.3%, and a highly homogeneous student population with over 96% of students being White. Addressing these systemic issues through targeted interventions and a focus on equity could help the Crooksville school district improve educational outcomes for its students.
