Summary:
Maplewood Local contains one elementary school, Maplewood Elementary School, a K–6 school in Cortland, Ohio, with 356 students and a 14.8 student-teacher ratio. This school is high performing: the district ranks 48th of 773 Ohio districts (94th percentile, 5 stars), and the school has stayed around the top 13–14% of Ohio elementary schools for three years, with 4 stars and an 86th–87th percentile rank each year. Every reported grade and subject score exceeded the state average in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026—18 of 18 comparisons above state.
Mathematics and science are especially strong. In 2025–2026, 5th grade stood out with 98% proficient in both mathematics and English language arts, plus 91.8% in science. The school’s unweighted math average rose from 83.4 to 87.4, while the state average was only about 60–61. ELA is high overall but more variable: unweighted ELA averaged 79.2 in 2024–2025 and 76.6 in 2025–2026, well above the state’s 61–63 range. The main academic caution is 6th grade ELA, which fell from 77.8 to 58.7—a 19.1-point decline—and its margin over the state was only +2.7 points, though it remained above state.
Other metrics: chronic absenteeism is 14.8% at the school versus 15.2% in the district, slightly better but still roughly 1 in 7 students. Free/reduced lunch is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed. Per-student spending is $11,005 from 2018–2019, too dated to compare meaningfully with current results. Overall, Maplewood Elementary School is a strong choice with consistent high rankings, excellent math and science outcomes, and generally solid ELA, with 6th grade ELA as the area to watch.
