Summary:
There are four elementary schools in the Fremont City district in Ohio — Otis Elementary School, Lutz Elementary School, Croghan Elementary School, and Atkinson Elementary School — and all four serve students in grades PK through 5. Together they enroll 1,489 students, ranging from 318 at Atkinson to 394 at Otis. The district as a whole ranks at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars, so these schools sit in the middle of Ohio's performance picture overall, but they differ widely from one another.
Otis and Lutz are the strongest performers. Otis has the highest 2025–26 composite (73.9) and top marks in 5th-grade math (89.7), 5th-grade ELA (81.0), and 5th-grade science (74.1). Lutz had the strongest prior year, reaching the highest rank percentile any of these schools has posted (68 in 2024–25), and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.0. Atkinson is the most improved, climbing from the 47th to the 52nd percentile and moving from 2 stars to 3 stars, driven by the highest 3rd-grade ELA score in the group (83.3) — though its 5th-grade math and science both sit at 51.4. Croghan is the concern: it has the lowest composite (49.0), the only 1-star rating, and 5th-grade science that fell from 73.2 to 37.3 in a single year.
Some patterns cut across all four schools. Every one of them beat the state in 4th-grade math in 2025–26 (70.1 to 88.2, versus 67.3 statewide). Chronic absenteeism does not line up neatly with achievement — Croghan's rate (13.4) is nearly identical to Otis's (13.3) despite much lower scores, and all four are below the district rate of 20.9. Spending and class size also show no clear relationship with results; the 2018–19 spending figures are outdated, and free/reduced lunch data are not available for any of these schools.
