Summary

Crim Elementary School is a K–5 school in Bowling Green, Ohio, serving 344 students as part of Bowling Green City School District, which ranks 263rd of 773 districts statewide (66th percentile, 3 stars). Crim itself ranks 1025th of 1,560 schools in Ohio in 2025–26 — the 34th percentile, or 2 stars.

That places Crim below its own district and below nearly every nearby school. On the seven reported state tests in 2025–26, an average of 54.4% of Crim students scored proficient, compared with 68.5% districtwide and 63.8% statewide. Math is the weakest area: Crim's grade 3–5 math average is 46.4%, versus 61.4% for the district and 62.8% for the state. English language arts is closer at 61.4%, and 5th grade science is 57.4%. Third grade ELA is the one bright spot, at 73.0% versus 63.4% statewide. Within the district, Conneaut Elementary School sits at the 81st percentile and Kenwood Elementary School at the 59th, while E A Powell Elementary School is the closest overall match at the 35th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is 16.0% — the highest among all comparison schools, though much improved from 29.5% in 2021–22. E A Powell has similar test results and only 7.1% chronic absenteeism, which suggests attendance could be a key lever here.

Crim has also slipped from a recent high: average proficiency was 64.9% in 2023–24 — slightly above the state — then 59.2% and 54.4% in the two years since. Results vary widely by student group; gifted and talented students performed near the middle (51st percentile), while effectiveness for low-income students fell to the 43rd percentile from 73rd, and for special education students to the 30th from 53rd. Context matters: Crim's 2018–19 per-student spending of $7,415 is the lowest in the comparison set, and its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is moderate, so class size alone doesn't explain the gap. Note also that recent free/reduced-price lunch figures are blank, the spending number is dated, and nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons aren't perfect.
