Summary:

The Independence Local school district in Ohio is home to a single standout elementary school, Independence Primary School. This small school of 438 students has consistently ranked among the top 10% of elementary schools in the state, earning a prestigious 5-star rating from School Digger.

Independence Primary School's academic performance is exceptional, with 3rd and 4th-grade test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly exceeding the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 81.9% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 64.4%. The school's higher-than-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratio of 16.2 to 1 suggest the district is allocating significant resources to support the school's educational programs.

While the school's overall performance is outstanding, the slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4% in the 2024-2025 school year may be an area for improvement. Nevertheless, Independence Primary School stands out as a model of educational excellence, providing a high-quality learning environment for its students and serving as a benchmark for other schools in the region.
