Summary:
The city of Lowell, Ohio has only one school, Lowell Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Fort Frye Local school district.
Lowell Elementary School's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 460 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 and 763 out of 1,596 in 2022-2023. The school has seen some strong academic achievements, such as 100% proficiency in 4th-grade Mathematics in 2024-2025, but has also struggled in other areas, like 5th-grade Science and Mathematics scores that fell below the district and state averages. The school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 77.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's mixed performance, its per-student spending of $10,202 in 2018-2019 is in line with the state average, suggesting that funding is not a significant constraint on the school's ability to provide educational resources. However, the school's inconsistent academic achievement across grade levels and subject areas indicates that there may be room for improvement in the school's instructional practices and targeted support for its student population.
