Summary

Washington Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 401 students in Gallipolis, the seat of Gallia County in southeastern Ohio, and it is the largest of the three elementary schools in the Gallipolis City district. Roughly 77% of its students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-24, and its student-to-teacher ratio is a comparatively favorable 16.4.

The school is on a clear upward trajectory. In 2025-26 it ranked 713th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (54th percentile) with 3 stars — its best showing since at least 2015-16, up from the 43rd percentile the year before. Its low-income students are the standout: the Low Socio Economic Status subgroup ranked 369th of 1,467 (75th percentile, 4 stars), 21 percentile points above the school's overall result, after sitting at the 45th percentile just two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism was nearly halved in a single year, falling from 23.3% to 13.0%, now well below the district's 19.2% and mid-pack among nearby schools. Science is a consistent strength, with 5th-grade proficiency at 76.8% versus a state figure of 62.7%.

The main weak spot is 4th grade: math proficiency was 46.0% against a state 67.3%, and ELA 57.1% against 61.8%, with 4th-grade math below state for three straight years. By contrast, 5th-grade math and ELA were both above state in 2025-26. Nearby, Green Elementary School posted 83.7% in 4th-grade math and 79.1% in 4th-grade ELA, while Rio Grande Elementary School sat near Washington in 4th-grade math at 46.7% — a striking spread within a single district. Washington's per-student spending of $7,042 (2018-19) was the second-lowest in the local comparison set.
