Summary:
Ostrander, Ohio, is served by exactly one school in this data set—Buckeye Valley West Elementary School, an elementary school for grades PK–5 with 648 students in Buckeye Valley Local Schools. This is a single-school profile rather than a multi-school city system. The data covers district and school rank, chronic absenteeism, Ohio State Tests, free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio. Test scores cover 2024–25 and 2025–26; absenteeism is 2025–26; lunch and ratio are 2024–25; spending is 2018–19. Missing 2025–26 grade 5 ELA or science entries are unavailable, not zero.
The school stands out. Its district ranks 91st of 773 Ohio districts, at the 88th percentile, with 4 stars. The school ranks 157th of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–26, in the 90th percentile, with 4 stars. Its rank improved from 249th of 1,577 in 2023–24 (84th percentile) to 190th of 1,558 in 2024–25 (88th percentile) to 157th of 1,560 in 2025–26 (90th percentile). It outperforms Ohio averages in every reported test comparison. Its 2025–26 grade 5 mathematics result is exceptional: 96.4% proficient, versus 75.3% in the district and 59.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 6.0% at the school versus 13.9% in the district in 2025–26. Free/reduced-price lunch is 13.27% in 2024–25; the student-teacher ratio is 18.5. Per-student spending is $9,081 from 2018–19, too old for current resource conclusions.
Statewide strength is consistent: in all 12 reported school-vs-state comparisons, the school exceeded Ohio’s average, with the smallest margin +13.1 points in 2024–25 grade 5 science. It outperformed the district in 8 of 12 comparisons but trailed in four: 2025–26 grade 3 mathematics (78.5 vs 79.6), 2025–26 grade 3 ELA (81.3 vs 82.1), 2024–25 grade 5 science (76.5 vs 78.7), and 2024–25 grade 3 ELA (82.4 vs 82.8, essentially a tie). Grade 3 is a relative soft spot, though still above state averages. Science was strong but below district in 2024–25, and no 2025–26 science result provided. Overall, this is a high-performing, high-ranking elementary school with large state margins, generally strong district comparisons, and low chronic absenteeism. Caveats are the single-school scope, missing 2025–26 science/ELA grade 5 data, and outdated spending information.
