Summary

Tarhe Trails Elementary School is a K–5 school in Lancaster, OH serving 611 students as part of Lancaster City — the largest elementary in the nearby comparison set. The district overall is ranked 473 of 773 in Ohio (39th percentile, 2 stars), but Tarhe Trails itself ranked 666 of 1,560 in 2025-2026 (57th percentile, 3 stars), making it the highest-ranked Lancaster City elementary in the comparison group. It trails some nearby non-district schools such as Bloom Carroll Intermediate School (67th percentile, 3 stars) and Liberty Union Elementary School (62nd percentile, 3 stars), but is above Pleasantville Elementary School (52nd percentile) and Amanda-Clearcreek Elementary School (34th percentile).

On tests, Tarhe Trails scored above the district and state in six of seven tested subject/grade combinations in 2025-2026, and above the average of the other Lancaster City elementaries in all seven. Highlights include 4th-grade math (78.2), 5th-grade ELA (75.3), and 5th-grade science (68.8); the soft spot is 4th-grade ELA, where 59.1% were proficient versus the state's 61.8%. Chronic absenteeism is a real strength at 12.5%, less than half the district's 26.3% and below Gorsuch West Elementary School, Tallmadge Elementary School, Medill Elementary School, and Mt. Pleasant Elementary School, though still above Liberty Union (7.3%) and the Bloom-Carroll schools (8.2%–9.0%).

The school's low-income students rank in the top fifth of the state (80th percentile, 4 stars in 2025-2026), a consistent bright spot. Other group results are more mixed: male students were at the 67th percentile, female students at the 50th, and special education students around the 46th (2 stars). Two trends to watch are 4th-grade ELA, which fell from 74.6% to 59.1% over three years, and 5th-grade science, down from a 2022-2023 peak of 84.0%. Class sizes have improved (student-teacher ratio 20.3 in 2024-2025, from 24.0), but remain higher than most nearby schools, while per-student spending of $9,681 (2018-2019) is relatively high. Note that Bridges (18 students, grades 2–8) lacks comparable data.
