Summary:
Zip code 67831 has one listed elementary school, Ashland Elementary, serving PK–5 with 83 students, so there is no local school-to-school comparison. Its clearest strength is mathematics: in 2025–26, 57% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide. The most important concern is science, where proficiency was 21% compared with 38% statewide.
Ashland Elementary is both the top and bottom school in this one-school list by default, so the useful comparison is across subjects and grades. Mathematics was its strongest result, 16 percentage points above the state overall, and the school exceeded state results in third, fourth, and fifth grades by 20, 6, and 12 points. ELA was 4 points above the state overall, but that result hides a grade-level split: third grade was 8 points ahead, while fourth and fifth grades were 4 and 8 points behind. Science was 17 points below the state, the largest subject gap.
Results changed unevenly over time. ELA rose from 38% in 2024–25 to 50% in 2025–26, while the state moved from 44% to 46%; mathematics increased from 54% to 57%, compared with a statewide rise from 39% to 41%. Science fell from 40% to 21%, while the state declined from 41% to 38%, widening Ashland’s deficit by 15 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 361st of 656 schools in 2024–25 to 306th of 657 in 2025–26, but remained 111 places below its 2023–24 rank. In 2024–25, the school had an 8.1 student–teacher ratio and a 47% free/reduced-lunch rate.
