Summary:
Families in the Granville area have one elementary option: Granville Elementary School, which serves grades K–3 to 679 students at 310 N Granger St in Granville, Ohio, within Granville Exempted Village. Because this is the district's only elementary building, the school's numbers and the district's elementary numbers are one and the same, so the most useful comparison is between this school and the state of Ohio. The district as a whole holds a 5-star rating and ranks 25th of 773 districts statewide, placing it in the 97th percentile.
Third graders here score well above the state average in both tested subjects, in both years on record. In 2025–2026, 88.8% of students were proficient in math versus 62.1% statewide, and 85.1% were proficient in English language arts versus 63.4% statewide. The year before, math stood at 85.5% against a state figure of 64.4%, and ELA at 80.3% against 61.3%. That means the school outperformed Ohio by roughly 19 to 27 percentage points depending on subject and year. The school also improved year over year in both subjects, gaining 3.3 points in math and 4.8 points in ELA, while state math proficiency actually declined by 2.3 points. Math is consistently the stronger of the two subjects here.
Attendance is solid: 7.9% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, below the district's 8.7% and under the 10% mark generally considered healthy. Only 6.63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 17.4 to 1 — typical for an elementary school rather than the small classes a low-poverty, high-performing district might suggest. Note two limits: academic evidence comes only from 3rd grade, the first grade Ohio tests, so a single class can swing results; and the $10,739 per-student spending figure dates to 2018–2019, too old to draw current conclusions from.
