Summary

Croghan Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Fremont, Ohio, serving 384 students as part of the Fremont City district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 1,100th of 1,560 Ohio schools (29th percentile, 1 star), below its district’s 43rd percentile (2 stars). This is a sharp decline from 2018–2019, when Croghan was at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 13.4%, well below the district’s 20.9%, and its student-teacher ratio was 20 in 2024–2025.

Among Fremont City elementaries, Croghan is the lowest-ranked. Lutz Elementary School is at the 62nd percentile (3 stars), Otis Elementary School at the 65th (3 stars), and Atkinson Elementary School at the 52nd (3 stars). Nearby out-of-district schools also rank higher: James J Hilfiker Elementary School (74th percentile, 4 stars), Green Springs Elementary School (66th, 3 stars), Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus (57th, 3 stars), and Lakota Elementary School (56th, 3 stars). In 2025–2026, Croghan was below the district in all seven tested subject/grade combinations and below the state in six of seven. The weakest area is 5th grade: science 37.3% versus district 60.4% and state 62.7%; math 43.1% versus district 64.9% and state 59.1%; ELA 37.3% versus district 66.2% and state 70.4%. The main bright spot is 4th-grade math at 70.1%, above the state’s 67.3% but below the district’s 77.2%.

Chronic absenteeism is a genuine strength relative to the district. At 13.4%, Croghan is similar to Otis Elementary School (13.3%) and better than Atkinson Elementary School (19.0%), but higher than some nearby schools: R C Waters Elementary School (3.8%), James J Hilfiker Elementary School (5.9%), Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus (6.2%), Green Springs Elementary School (10.1%), and Lakota Elementary School (11.7%). Spending was $9,486 per student in 2018–2019, in line with peers, but free/reduced-lunch data is not reported and that spending figure is old. Overall, Croghan has a low overall rank and broad academic weakness, especially in 5th grade, but it also shows improved absenteeism and a solid 4th-grade math result.
