Summary:
Elida Local is a three-school district in Ohio serving grades K–12 — Elida Elementary (K–5, 1,003 students), Elida Middle School (6–8, 467 students), and Elida High School (9–12, 546 students), with 2,016 students total and no alternative school listed. The district rates 3 stars overall, ranking 322 of 773, or the 58th percentile.
Academically, the middle and high schools are the stronger performers. Elida Middle School was above the state average in every tested area in 2025–26, highlighted by Algebra I at 97.7% proficient versus the state's 61.6%; its rank is 336 of 1,046 (68th percentile, 3 stars). Elida High School beats the state in American Government (82.6%), American History (84.2%), Biology (74.1%), English II (73.9%), Algebra I (69.5%), and Geometry (45.3%), with a 91.3% graduation rate; it ranks 287 of 795 (64th percentile, 3 stars). Its biggest concern is Geometry, which fell 16.8 points in a year. Elida Elementary ranks lowest at 845 of 1,560 (46th percentile, 2 stars), with bright spots in Math 4 (73.3%) and Math 5 (61.3%) but a weak ELA 4 result of 50.6%, 11.2 points below state.
Two patterns stand out across the district. Chronic absenteeism sits near 21% at every level — elementary 20.7%, middle 22.5%, high 21.1%, district 21.3% — meaning roughly one in five students is chronically absent everywhere. Also, all three schools slipped in the rankings in 2025–26: the elementary from 52nd to 46th percentile, the middle from 78th to 68th, and the high school from 84th to 64th, so the middle and high schools that were recently 4-star schools are now 3 stars.
