Right past Pepsi and that giant engineering company on east state street is actually in Federal Hocking schools. It’s in the city of Athens.

The extreme northeastern corner of Bloomfield Township touches the southwest corner of Vinton County at that point. The Wellston and Gallia County districts also touch at that point. It's kind of like the four corners area out west, although in this case you can stand in four school districts at the same time. The land, at least on the Jackson County side is uninhabited Scioto Land Company property with no public roads.one Oak wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 11:21 pm
In addition to Vinton County and Symmes Valley the Oak Hill district also borders Jackson, Wellston, Gallia County, Rock Hill, Bloom-Vernon (South Webster), and Minford.

Yeah, good map. Notice Bright Local in southern Highland county....where it actually says “Bright Local”....the high school is located left of the “B”....if you added 2 more capital “B’s”....the high school would be where the first B would be placed then notice how it goes up on the NE end.one Oak wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 8:41 pm Here's a link to a map of school districts in Ohio, but it must be somewhat outdated.

That's really ridiculous. Is there not a place more centralized that they could have placed it?Ironman92 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:08 pmYeah, good map.

Is there any other high school that far from the center of the district?
I believe it was voted down in 98 or 99. They built a new elementary in 2000-2001 and it’s towards the center. The old district had Belfast as a K-12 until I think the early 70’s...that entire side ranges from 18-35 miles from the high school on old county/township roads.danicalifornia wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:35 pmThat's really ridiculous.

Amanda Clearcreek isn't nearly as big, but their school is at the bottom of their district, in Amanda, but still not close to being centralized either.
Monroe County has one school district, but three high schools - Monroe Central, River, and Beallsville.formerfcfan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 11:45 pm
Monroe County is very close to being in the company of Hocking and Vinton as being the only singular district counties, but a very small and sparsely populated portion of the district is Shenandoah.
Carbon Hill might have had their own high school. Thought I heard they were a member of the old county league.Ironman92 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 12:08 amNot greatly sure.

Students living in Hocking County can actually go to 1 of 3 districts. The western part of Hocking county kids go to Logan Elm (Laurelville area)

Scioto Valley Local is Piketon. In mid 1950s Piketon and Scioto Township (Wakefield) consolidated. This was A-Plant boom. Scioto Valley ran dual sessions (7-12 & 12-5) for few years to accommodate influx of students. A gentleman who lived outside of Jasper said it used to take about 45 minutes to get from Jasper 32-104 Intersection to A-Plant entrance due to traffic and employees coming in from all directions. Scioto Valley is a huge school district in miles & has to be one of largest in southern Ohio. It spans from Pike-Scioto Co line to Walmart and Union Hill to Givens.

Just within the SEO Preps area, the following schools cover more:
Logan Elm 198
Meigs 199
Westfall 200
Federal Hocking 207
Tri Valley 230
Madison Plains 248
Morgan 387
Miami Trace 401
There are also at least a handful more across the state that are bigger. Northwest is huge though.
