Elementary Schools in Shawnee Local

Summary:

The Shawnee Local school district in Ohio is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Elmwood Elementary School and Maplewood Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 4th grade and have earned high ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the top-performing elementary schools in the state.

Maplewood Elementary School consistently outperforms the Shawnee Local district and the state of Ohio in both math and English language arts proficiency for 3rd and 4th grade students. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 83% of 4th graders at Maplewood Elementary were proficient or better in math, compared to 69.1% statewide. However, Maplewood Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, dropping from 233rd out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 522nd out of 1,558 in 2024-2025.

Both Elmwood Elementary School and Maplewood Elementary School have relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 15.9% for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, a significant percentage of students at both schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the Shawnee Local district. These factors may present challenges for the district and require targeted interventions and support to ensure the continued academic success of all students.
