Summary:
Union, Ohio is home to just one school in this data set: Union Elementary School, an elementary serving grades 2–6 with 539 students, located at 418 W Martindale Rd and part of the Northmont City district. Because it is the only school in the area, families should read this as a single-school profile rather than a comparison — and note that no middle or high school appears here, so outcomes after grade 6 are not covered. About 108 students per grade level attend, and state testing begins in grade 3, so no grade-2 results exist.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and performance against the state. Chronic absenteeism is 16.9%, compared with 20.1% for Northmont City — a meaningful edge, especially with 52.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Across the nine tested grade-subject areas in 2025-2026, Union Elementary School beats the Ohio average in 6 of 9, with standout results in 6th grade ELA (64.8% vs. 56.0% state, +8.8 points), 3rd grade Math (70.0% vs. 62.1%, +7.9), and 6th grade Math (60.7% vs. 56.2%, +4.5). Third and fourth grade ELA also jumped sharply year over year, from 47.4% to 65.6% and 49.0% to 65.5%, pushing those grades above the state average.
The main caveat is how the school compares with its own district. Union Elementary School trails Northmont City in 8 of 9 tested areas, by about 6.2 points on average, with the largest gaps in 4th grade Math (−12.8), 6th grade Math (−11.6), and 5th grade Science (−10.4). Watch items include 5th grade ELA (down 11.4 points) and 5th grade Math (down 8.6). The school ranks at the 52nd percentile statewide with 3 stars. Staffing is relatively thin at 20.7 students per teacher, and per-student spending of $9,862 dates back to 2018-2019, so it should not be read as current.
