Summary:
The city of Union, Ohio is home to a single school, Union Elementary School, which serves grades 2-6 and is part of the Northmont City school district. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average test scores in certain subjects and grade levels, it also faces challenges, including a higher chronic absenteeism rate and lower English Language Arts proficiency compared to district and state averages.
Union Elementary School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 414th out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 787th out of 1,558 in 2024-2025. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger has also varied, from 4 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2024-2025. While the school's test scores are generally lower than the Northmont City district and the state of Ohio averages, it does stand out in 5th-grade Science and 5th-grade English Language Arts, where it outperforms the district and state.
The school faces some demographic and financial challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 52.09% in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,862, and the student-teacher ratio was 20.4 in 2023-2024. These factors may contribute to the school's performance and the challenges it faces in maintaining consistently high academic achievement.
