Summary
Coshocton Elementary in Coshocton, OH, serves 888 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Coshocton City School District. It is the largest elementary in its comparison group—the next largest is Dresden Elementary with 491 students. The district ranks 496th of 773 Ohio districts (36th percentile, 2 stars), and the school’s 2025–26 rank is 992nd of 1,560, also 36th percentile and 2 stars. The school has held a 2-star rating, though its statewide percentile slipped from 45th in 2020–21 to 36th in 2025–26.
Academically, ELA is the clearest weakness: in 2025–26, Coshocton was below the state in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA, and the lowest among nearby schools with comparable data. 4th grade ELA was 39.8 versus the state’s 61.8. Math is uneven—3rd grade math was 44.6 versus 62.1 for the state, but 5th grade math reached 82.5, above the state’s 59.1 and higher than most nearby schools, including West Elementary and River View Intermediate. 5th grade science was 65.0, near the state’s 62.7 and mid-pack among neighbors, trailing Adamsville Elementary and Frazeysburg Elementary but ahead of Baltic Elementary.
Chronic absenteeism is high at 20.9%, the highest among nearby schools, though it is below the district’s 24.6% and improved from 24.0% in 2023–24. The student-teacher ratio is relatively favorable at 17.4, lower than Dresden Elementary, Frazeysburg Elementary, and River View Intermediate. Subgroup results are mixed: special education students are at the 57th percentile (3 stars), up from 42nd, while low-SES students are at the 46th percentile (2 stars), down from 64th. Resources alone don’t explain the achievement gap, suggesting attendance, early literacy, and targeted instruction are key levers. Note that the school reported 6th-grade tests in 2024–25 but now serves PK–5, so year-over-year comparisons should be made carefully.
