Summary:
Zip code 42140 has one listed school, Gamaliel Elementary, serving prekindergarten through fifth grade and enrolling 254 students. There is no other school in this list to compare it with, so the clearest picture comes from its state and district results. In 2025–2026, Gamaliel was above the state in nine of ten reported grade-and-subject results; the main exception was third-grade math, where 39% were proficient compared with 43% statewide, or 4 points lower. Overall, its results were generally above the state, but third-grade math stands out as a specific concern.
Gamaliel’s strongest state comparisons were fourth-grade science, with 68% proficient versus 40% statewide, a 28-point advantage, and fifth-grade writing, at 61% versus 35%, a 26-point advantage. It was not ahead of Monroe County in every subject: it exceeded district results in five of ten comparisons, matched the district in fifth-grade social studies, and fell below it in four. The largest district-relative gaps were in fifth-grade math, where Gamaliel was 18 points lower, and fifth-grade editing and mechanics, also 18 points lower. Because only one school is listed, it is the sole school in the area sample—not a local top or bottom performer.
Year-to-year results were mixed rather than steadily rising: fifth-grade social studies increased 25 points and fourth-grade science rose 12, while third-grade math fell 29 points and third-grade reading fell 21. The overall average across the ten results edged down from 63% to 62%. SchoolDigger gives Gamaliel four stars and ranks it 78th of 684 schools, at the 89th percentile; its listed percentiles were 87th in 2024–2025 and 90th in 2023–2024, so the recent history is not a steady climb. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, below the district’s 24% and the state’s 24%. For context, the student-teacher ratio was 12.8 in 2024–2025, and 70% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
