Salt Creek Intermediate School, Kingston OH

Original Research by School Decision on Salt Creek Intermediate School

Salt Creek Intermediate School is no longer in operation. The school has closed, marking the end of what was a middle school serving grades in the Kingston area through Logan Elm Local district.

The closure reflects a broader structural change in the district. In August 2023, Logan Elm Local consolidated six aging school buildings into a single new PK-12 campus, fundamentally reorganizing how all students in the district attend school. Salt Creek, like the other separate buildings that once served the district, was part of that consolidation. The new facility brought all students from prekindergarten through grade twelve under one roof for the first time, with separate learning communities designed for elementary, middle, and high school students, plus an Agribusiness Career Tech lab.

Before its closure, Salt Creek served middle-grade students. State testing data from its final years show mixed performance. On the Ohio's State Tests in science, proficiency rates were around mid-range. Social studies results from earlier testing cycles showed proficiency near the mid-range as well. More recent math and language-arts assessments showed very limited tested enrollment, making those results difficult to interpret as representative of school performance.

Enrollment and demographic data for Salt Creek were not available in the record, so a full picture of the school's composition, economic circumstances, or special populations cannot be drawn. Attendance, staffing, and discipline records were also not provided, leaving gaps in understanding the day-to-day environment families experienced.

For families still considering the Logan Elm Local district, the middle school experience now takes place in the new consolidated campus rather than at a separate intermediate building. That new facility represents a substantial change in infrastructure and configuration from the older, separate-building structure that Salt Creek represented.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
