Summary

Galion Intermediate Elementary School is a grades 3–5 school with 373 students in Galion, Ohio, part of the Galion City district, and it shares a campus with Galion Primary Elementary School (preK–2), which feeds into it. The school ranks 1,057 of 1,560 Ohio schools (32nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, down from the 39th–44th percentile across the prior five years. Its district ranks 576 of 773 (25th percentile, 1 star).

Results are uneven rather than uniformly low. Third-grade ELA (64.0% proficient) is essentially at the state level and fifth-grade ELA (69.4%) is close, but fifth-grade science (41.1% vs. 62.7% statewide), fourth-grade math (50.4% vs. 67.3%), and fourth-grade ELA (44.4% vs. 61.8%) lag far behind, making fourth grade the clearest weak spot. Among nearby schools, it trails Stingel Elementary School, Northmor Elementary School, Shelby Elementary School, and Liberty Elementary School in most subjects, while scoring above Bucyrus Elementary School in several. Its 13.7% chronic absenteeism rate is a genuine improvement from 30.4% in 2021–2022 and better than its district's 20.2%, though higher than Stingel (5.8%) and Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5 (5.6%).

About 69.55% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2023–2024, up from 58.74%. Notably, Northmor Elementary School serves an even higher-need population (85.03%) yet outperforms in nearly every subject, suggesting these results are addressable. The school's 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 18.6 is higher than most nearby schools, and reported per-student spending was $9,671 in 2018–2019. Special education students rank at the 57th percentile (3 stars), above the school's overall 32nd percentile.
