Summary
Green Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 320 students in Gallipolis, Ohio, a small river town in southeastern Ohio, and it stands out as a bright spot within the Gallipolis City district. The district as a whole ranks 440th of 773 Ohio districts (43rd percentile, 2 stars), but Green ranks 363rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 77th percentile, 4 stars. That gap makes Green the strongest of the district's elementary schools, well ahead of Rio Grande Elementary (48th percentile) and Washington Elementary (54th percentile).
Green exceeded its district and the state of Ohio on all seven reported 2025–2026 state tests, averaging roughly 78% proficient compared with about 69% for the district and 64% for the state. Highlights include 5th-grade English language arts at 89.8%, 3rd-grade ELA at 84.3%, 4th-grade math at 83.7%, and 5th-grade science at 79.6%. Even its lowest result, 5th-grade math at 63.3%, beat both district and state. In 4th-grade math, Green's 83.7% far outpaced its same-district peers Rio Grande (46.7%) and Washington (46%). Among nearby schools, Symmes Valley Elementary is the closest overall match in rank (76th percentile), but Green's chronic absenteeism of 9.6% is far below Symmes Valley's 21.2%.
Attendance is a genuine strength: Green's 9.6% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was roughly half the district's 19.2% and among the lowest of nearby schools. The school is also exceptionally effective for low-income students — 95th percentile, 5 stars in 2025–2026, up from 79th percentile three years earlier — a notable result given that 51.99% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2023–2024. These outcomes come despite a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 20, the highest among nearby schools, and 2018–2019 per-student spending of $7,896, lower than most neighbors. One area to watch: 5th-grade math sits below Green's other results, though it is still above district and state, and the school's overall rank dipped to the 67th percentile in 2024–2025 before rebounding.
