Fort Recovery Local Schools

What Fort Recovery Local Schools does

Fort Recovery Local Schools is a public K-12 school district in Fort Recovery, Ohio, serving approximately 968 students across four schools: Fort Recovery High School (grades 9-12), Fort Recovery Middle School (grades 6-8), Fort Recovery Elementary (grades PK-5), and Fort Recovery Preschool. The district is governed by a five-member Board of Education and managed by Superintendent Tony Stahl; it operates as a state public entity funded through local property taxes, state foundation aid, and federal grants. Its operating model centers on in-person K-12 instruction with auxiliary revenue from federally subsidized meal programs (National School Breakfast and Lunch Program), facility rentals, and minor ala carte sales at $0.35-$4.00 per item.

The district's technology stack is composed entirely of integrated third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary software. The core portfolio includes ParentSquare (district-wide communication, RSVP, and secure document delivery), ProgressBook (student information and grade management with Google SSO), FinalForms (registration and forms management), PaySchools Central (cafeteria meal payments), Google Workspace for Education (email, Google Sites for teacher pages, Google Takeout for student data portability), Microsoft 365, Clever (1:1 Chromebook SSO), Remind (transportation notifications), INFOhio (digital library), and BoardDocs (board policy). The district website itself is hosted on ParentSquare SmartSites. A district-wide one-to-one Chromebook program provides devices to students across grade levels.

Customer engagement is driven by community channels rather than commercial marketing: ParentSquare messaging, the district website, monthly newsletters (Fort Site Journal), and a community calendar. The go-to-market is enrollment-based and geographically constrained to district boundaries, with no commercial sales motion. The district reports a 99-100% five-year average graduation rate, an 87% average college enrollment rate, and a 97.2% attendance rate, while operating with 107 total staff (66 certified, 41 classified) across four buildings in a single community.
