Summary

Atkinson Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Fremont, OH serving 318 students as part of the Fremont City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 752nd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 52nd percentile, with 3 stars — while its district ranked 437th of 773 Ohio districts (43rd percentile, 2 stars). Its trajectory is upward: from the 28th percentile in 2021–22 to 42nd, 47th, 49th, and 52nd in the years since.

Test results split sharply by grade. Third grade is a strength: in 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 83.3% (district 71.3%, state 63.4%) and math 76.6% (district 56.4%, state 62.1%), both above district and state for several years. Fifth grade is the weak spot: math was 51.4% versus 64.9% district and 59.1% state, and science 51.4% versus 60.4% district and 62.7% state, with 5th grade math below district and state every year shown. Fourth grade ELA, at 58.5%, also trailed both. Several student groups rank well above the school's overall 52nd percentile — low-income students in the 72nd, Hispanic students in the 79th (both 4 stars), and special education students in the 67th. Male students (40th) and white students (35th) ranked below it.

Chronic absenteeism improved from 37.2% in 2021–22 to 19.0% in 2025–26 and stays below the district's 20.9%, but it remains higher than every nearby school compared: Otis Elementary School 13.3%, Lutz Elementary School 12.0%, Croghan Elementary School 13.4%, Bataan Memorial Primary School 13.6%, Lakota Elementary School 11.7%, R C Waters Elementary School 3.8%, James J Hilfiker Elementary School 5.9%, Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus 6.2%, Clyde Elementary School 14.6%, and Green Springs Elementary School 10.1%. The student-teacher ratio improved to 17.2 in 2024–25 — better than Otis (20.5) and Croghan (20.0) and similar to Lutz (18.8), but higher than Hilfiker (16.2), Old Fort (15.8), Green Springs (14.0), and R C Waters (13.7). Per-student spending is only available for 2018–19 ($9,436), so it is not current. Against same-district peers, Atkinson clearly outpaces Croghan but trails Otis and Lutz.
