Wheelersburg Local School District

What Wheelersburg Local School District does

Wheelersburg Local School District is a public K-12 school district in rural southern Ohio, governed by an elected Board of Education under the oversight of Superintendent Mark Knapp and Treasurer George Grice. The district operates three schools — Wheelersburg Elementary (Pre-K through Grade 3, principal Megan Cooper), Wheelersburg Middle School (Grades 4-8), and Wheelersburg High School (Grades 9-12) — serving approximately 1,575 students along the Ohio River in Scioto County. Its core product is general K-12 education, supplemented by Title I academic support, special education services, athletics (9 state championships), the Pirate Care Club before/after-school program, food services, and transportation.

The district's technology architecture is a conventional small-district ed-tech stack rather than a proprietary platform: an Edlio-powered website and 2024-launched mobile app provide communications and emergency alerts, ProgressBook handles grading, FinalForms manages enrollment and forms, Lightspeed delivers a parent portal, PaySchools Central processes fees and meal payments, Nutrislice publishes cafeteria menus, SmartFind schedules substitute teachers, FMX manages facilities, and SCView runs background checks. A 1:1 Chromebook program covers grades 5-12 with an optional $25 annual protection plan. The Wheelersburg Schools Alumni & Friends Foundation supplements operations by awarding $7,500 annually in teacher grants, and the Scioto Foundation UCAN partnership holds a $253,000+ scholarship endowment that has paid out over $87,000 to 171 students since 2008.

Wheelersburg is funded as a government state entity through Ohio education foundation aid and local property taxes; revenue is not publicly disclosed and ancillary consumer fees (substitute teacher pay, Chromebook protection, classroom fees) are immaterial. It has been recognized as a 5-star rated district on the Ohio State Report Card, with Wheelersburg Elementary designated a National Blue Ribbon School and National Distinguished Title 1 School. The district's competitive position rests on its statutory geographic monopoly, deep community identity ("Pirate Pride"), and the continuity of an institution whose first graduating class dates to 1886.
