Summary

Bucyrus Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 245 Woodlawn Ave in Bucyrus, Ohio, serving 562 students — the largest elementary enrollment among its nearby comparison schools — in the highest-poverty community in that group. It currently ranks 1,157 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, or the 26th percentile with 1 star, and it has stayed between the 26th and 37th percentile for a full decade, so its position is stable rather than changing quickly.

On 2025–26 state tests, Bucyrus scored 12 to 18 points below the state in every subject and grade tested, averaging about 46.8% proficient against roughly 63.8% statewide. The deepest weakness is 5th grade: math came in at 31.5 versus 59.1 statewide (−27.6) and science at 38.2 versus 62.7 (−24.5). Tracking one group of students over time shows the same pattern — a cohort that scored 50.8 in math as 3rd graders slipped to 45.3 in 4th and 29.5 in 5th, meaning gaps widen as children move up rather than closing. For context, Wynford Elementary School is 2.8 miles away with almost the same enrollment (569) and sits at the 54th percentile, about 4.5 points above state, while Buckeye Central Elementary School is at the 86th percentile with 4 stars.

Attendance is the clearest bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 30.2% in 2021–22 to 17.0% in 2025–26, and the school has beaten its own district, Bucyrus City, every year on record. Given that 73.1% of students are economically disadvantaged — the highest rate among nearby schools — 17.0% absenteeism is better than comparable peers such as Galion Primary Elementary School (19.0%) and William H. Taft Elementary School (33.6%). Gifted students reached the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26, though that is a small group. The main takeaway: steady attendance gains have not yet translated into classroom achievement, especially in upper-grade math and science.
