Summary:
The Upper Scioto Valley Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school.

The school has also performed well on state tests, with 5th-grade students scoring above the state average in science and mathematics.
Meanwhile, Upper Scioto Valley High School has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, an impressive achievement. The high school has also shown strong performance in certain subject areas, such as biology, where students scored above the state average on the end-of-course exam. However, the district as a whole has generally performed below the state averages in many subject areas and grade levels, suggesting a need for improvement across all schools.
Across the district, the data reveals some concerning trends, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism ranging from 18.7% at the elementary school to 32.5% at the high school. Additionally, the high school has a very high percentage of students (97.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
