Summary

Manchester Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Manchester, Ohio, with 338 students. The school is part of the Manchester Local School District, which is ranked 405 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Manchester Elementary School performs better than the state average on Ohio state tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 81.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. In Mathematics, the school had 86% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 56.7%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.4% to 26.4% in recent years, is an area of concern, as it is higher than the state average.

While Manchester Elementary School generally performs well, it lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as Russellville Elementary School, which consistently ranks higher and has better test scores across various subjects and grade levels. On the other hand, the school's low socioeconomic status students perform relatively well compared to other schools, suggesting the school may be effectively supporting this population. Additionally, Manchester Elementary School's spending per student, at $8,097 in 2018-2019, is lower than the nearby schools analyzed.
