Summary

Circleville Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Circleville, Ohio, serving 1,110 students as part of the Circleville City district — the largest elementary school in its nearby comparison set. The district ranks 589th of 773 Ohio districts (24th percentile, 1 star), the lowest among nearby districts. At the school level, Circleville Elementary ranks 1,007th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (35th percentile, 2 stars), down from a stronger 2024–2025, when it reached the 50th percentile and 3 stars.

In 2025–2026, every reported tested subject was below Ohio's state proficiency averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd-grade ELA (-14.0 points) and 5th-grade math (-13.0 points). Nearby schools generally outperform it: Logan Elm Elementary School, about five miles away, beat Circleville in every tested subject while spending a similar amount per student. Chronic absenteeism was 21.5% in 2025–2026 — the highest among nearby schools, where rates range from 8.3% to 17.7% — though it has dropped substantially from 41.6% in 2021–2022.

Subgroup results show recent declines: low-income students fell from the 69th to the 47th percentile, special education students from the 55th to the 44th percentile, and female students ranked in the 28th percentile. Class size alone does not explain the results — the student-teacher ratio of 20.1 is lower than at higher-performing Westfall Elementary School (26.0) and Scioto Elementary School (24.5), and per-student spending of $9,871 in 2018–2019 was second-highest nearby. Overall, this is a large school in a lower-ranked district with improving but still high absenteeism, below-state proficiency, and a notable 2025–2026 academic drop.
