Summary

Lutz Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 393 students in Fremont, Ohio, part of the Fremont City district in northwest Ohio. In 2025–26 it ranked 591st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 62nd percentile, with 3 stars — and it has held a 3-star rating for four consecutive reported years. Its trend is clearly upward: Lutz sat in the 40th–42nd percentile in 2020–21 and 2021–22 before climbing into the 60th–68th range. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply too, from 34.2% in 2021–22 to 12.0% in 2025–26, well below the district's 20.9%.

On 2025–26 tests, Lutz beat the district average in all seven reported grade/subject results and beat the Ohio average in six of seven. Grade 4 math was the standout at 88.2% proficient, far above both the district and the state. Grade 5 science, grade 5 math and grade 3 ELA were also strong. The one soft spot was grade 3 math at 59.4%, the only result below the state average of 62.1%, though still above the district. Within the district, Otis Elementary School is the closest academic peer and ranked slightly higher overall, while Croghan Elementary School ranked far lower (29th percentile) and Atkinson Elementary School landed in between. Lutz's absenteeism rate beat all three.

Among nearby schools outside the district, James J Hilfiker Elementary School in Gibsonburg is the strongest comparison, ranking in the 74th percentile with 4 stars and only 5.9% chronic absenteeism; Green Springs Elementary School and R C Waters Elementary School also post high proficiency. Lutz is competitive, especially in grade 4 math and grade 3 ELA, but not dominant regionally. One distinctive strength is equity: Lutz's effectiveness ranking for low-income students was 85th percentile, well above its overall 62nd percentile. Keep in mind that free/reduced lunch data is not reported here, spending figures date to 2018–19, and rankings shift with each new cohort.
