Summary

Robert F Schultz Elementary School is a K–5 school in Delaware, OH, serving 777 students in the Delaware City district — the largest enrollment among the nearby elementary schools compared here. In 2025–26 it ranks 559th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (64th percentile, 3 stars), nearly matching its district's standing. Across seven tested measures, Schultz averages about 69% proficient versus roughly 64% statewide, so it looks solidly above average against Ohio — but it sits at or slightly below its own district in four of the seven, meaning much of that advantage belongs to the district rather than to the school itself. Its only measure below both district and state is 5th-grade ELA (67.8%).

The most useful comparison for families is Ervin Carlisle Elementary School, less than a mile away in the same district. Carlisle serves nearly identical poverty (31.0% vs 30.4%) and absenteeism (11.3% vs 11.2%), yet ranks 75th percentile with 4 stars versus Schultz's 64th percentile and 3 stars, with about 7 points higher proficiency. The clearest structural difference: Schultz has the highest student–teacher ratio in this group (22.2 students per teacher), the largest enrollment, and among the lowest per-pupil spending. The higher-ranked Olentangy Local and Buckeye Valley Local Schools elementaries score 24–30 percentile points higher, but serve poverty rates roughly one-third of Schultz's — a gap that reflects catchment economics more than school quality.

Longer term, Schultz has slid from the 79th percentile (2016–17, 4 stars) into the low-to-mid 60s, with a modest uptick in 2025–26. Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 17.2% to 11.2% and runs about 7 points better than the district. But low-income students dropped from the 61st to the 35th percentile in three years, special education students have never reached the top half, and 5th-grade science proficiency slipped from 79.4% to 71.3%, erasing its edge over district peers.
