Summary

Barnesville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 533 students in grades PK-4 in Barnesville, Ohio, which is part of the Barnesville Exempted Village School District. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts, with 72.4% of 3rd graders and 86.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, and 75.9% of 3rd graders and 67.1% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages.

Barnesville Elementary particularly stands out for its strong performance among low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 144th out of 1,473 Ohio elementary schools in this subgroup. The school also performs well for its disabled student population, ranking 84th out of 824 Ohio elementary schools. However, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is relatively low, ranking 60th out of 71 Ohio elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools like Bellaire Elementary, Shenandoah Elementary, and Union Local Elementary, Barnesville Elementary generally outperforms them in student proficiency on state tests.

Despite these strengths, Barnesville Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.0% in 2023-2024 to 22.5% in 2024-2025, which is higher than some nearby schools like Shenandoah Elementary (13.2%) and St. Clairsville Elementary (17.6%). The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 54.78% in 2023-2024, is another area of note, though its low-SES students perform exceptionally well.
