Summary
North Elementary School is a K–4 public school in East Liverpool, Ohio, serving 396 students as part of the East Liverpool City district, which ranks 642 of 773 in Ohio (17th percentile, 1 star). North itself ranked 1092 of 1560 in 2025–26 (30th percentile, 2 stars), up from 26th percentile in 2024–25 and 25th in 2023–24. It remains low-performing statewide but is currently stronger than its district average and its same-district peer, Lacroft Elementary School.
In 2025–26 Ohio State Tests, North scored above the East Liverpool City district in all four tested subjects but below the state in all four. Its best relative result is 4th grade math at 64.5%, only 2.8 points below the state’s 67.3%, while 3rd grade ELA is its weakest at 43.0%, 20.4 points below the state’s 63.4%. The current 3rd grade is a clear concern: it is much lower than last year’s 3rd grade and trails nearby schools such as Crestview Elementary School and Stanton Elementary School, whose 3rd grade math scores were in the mid-70s. North’s 4th grade ELA (53.2%) was above McKinley Elementary School and Southern Local Elementary School, but below East Palestine Elementary School, Toronto Elementary School, Beaver Local Elementary School, Crestview Elementary School, Stanton Elementary School, and Daw Elementary School.
Chronic absenteeism is North’s most striking non-academic challenge: 35.0% in 2025–26, slightly above the district’s 34.6% and highest among nearby schools. It improved from 43.5% in 2021–22 but has plateaued around 35% and likely limits academic growth. Among student groups, special education students are a bright spot at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars, up from the 13th percentile in 2023–24; low-income and male students have also improved. Female students remain lower, at the 23rd percentile. North’s 2018–19 per-student spending was $10,394, more than Crestview Local, East Palestine City, Toronto City, and Beaver Local, while its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was mid-pack at 16.8. Overall, North is trending slightly upward, with 4th grade math and special education outcomes as bright spots, but still needs to improve 3rd grade proficiency, reduce absenteeism, and close gaps for groups that remain below the school average.
