Summary:
Dennison, Ohio has just one school in this data set — Claymont Intermediate School, an elementary school serving grades 3–5 with 341 students, located at 220 N 3rd St and part of the Claymont City district. Because it is the only school in the city, there are no in-city comparisons to make; the useful benchmarks are the district and the state. The district ranks 511 of 773, in the 34th percentile with 2 stars.
The school's relative standing has slipped over three years. Its rank went from 910th in 2023–24 to 1,081st in 2025–26, with its percentile falling from 42 to 31, even though the star rating stayed at 2 stars. In 2025–26, every tested area came in below the state average, including 3rd grade ELA at 45.2% versus the state's 63.4%, 4th grade ELA at 45.3% versus 61.8%, and 3rd grade math at 48.7% versus 62.1%. A year earlier, 5th grade math was a bright spot at 66.3%, above the state's 56.7%, and 5th grade ELA matched the state exactly at 67.7%. The following year, 5th grade math dropped to 52.9% and 5th grade ELA to 62.7%, so those earlier gains did not hold. Third grade ELA has been a persistent weakness, trailing the state by roughly 18–19 percentage points in both years.
On other measures, chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 14.5% at the school, lower than the district's 17.7% — a relative strength, though it still means about 1 in 7 students is chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was 17.4, implying roughly 19–20 teachers. Per-student spending is listed at $9,555 but comes from 2018–19 and is too old to compare with current figures, and free/reduced lunch is not reported, so economic context is unknown. Absenteeism and student-teacher ratio each cover only one year, so no trend can be established. The overall picture: below state averages across all tested areas in 2025–26, a declining relative rank, and clear room to improve in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and 5th grade math and science.
