Summary:
Windham, Ohio has three public schools serving about 454 students in grades PK–12, all within the Windham Exempted Village district: Katherine Thomas Elementary School (PK–4, 196 students), Windham Junior High School (5–8, 151 students), and Windham High School (9–12, 107 students). The district ranks 619th of 773 Ohio districts — the 20th percentile — with a 1-star rating, and every school trails its state test averages. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not available for any school, per-student spending figures are from 2018–2019, and student-teacher ratios are from 2024–2025.
Among the three, Windham Junior High School is the relative standout: it is the only current 2-star school, sits at the 36th percentile, has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 25.1% (versus the district's 33.3%), and posted 5th grade ELA proficiency of 75%, above the state's 70.4%. Katherine Thomas Elementary School has a clear bright spot in 4th grade math — 71.1% proficient versus the state's 67.3%, and 82.1% versus 69.1% in 2024–2025 — along with the largest enrollment, the highest student-teacher ratio at 16.5, and the highest listed spending of $13,016. Windham High School stands out for a 97.4% graduation rate.
Concerns are concentrated at the high school, which ranks in the 16th percentile with 1 star, has 43.3% chronic absenteeism, and posts Geometry at 17.8% (state 43.3%), English II at 39.2% (state 62.7%), and Algebra I at 40% (state 61.6%). The middle school's 6th grade results are also weak — math 22.2% and ELA 37.8% — and the elementary school's 3rd grade scores 42.9% in math and 39.3% in ELA, both far below state. Across the district, the school with the lowest absenteeism also has the highest rank percentile, though this pattern does not prove causation.
