Summary

London Elementary School is a large K–5 school in London, Ohio, serving 1,011 students as part of the London City district, and it currently ranks 945th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 39th percentile, 2 stars.

Two features stand out about how this school is staffed and resourced. First, it is much bigger than its neighbors: nearby elementaries enroll roughly 243–533 students (median about 429), so London is more than twice the typical size. Second, its student-teacher ratio of 27.3 is the highest in the comparison group — well above Brown Elementary School (17.0), Norwood Elementary School (15.8), Madison-Plains Elementary School (15.5), and Monroe Elementary School (15.0). Per-pupil spending ($8,527) is also below the nearby median. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 29.2% in 2022–2023 to 20.7% in 2025–2026 and is lower than the district's rate, but it remains higher than Brown (3.5%), Alton Darby Elementary School (7.3%), and Dohron Wilson Elementary School (9.7%). About 53% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, the picture is uneven. Fourth grade math is a genuine bright spot: 82% proficient versus the state's 67.3%, among the highest nearby. But 3rd grade math (49.4 versus 62.1) and 3rd grade ELA (48.9 versus 63.4) were the lowest among nearby schools with data, and 5th grade ELA fell to 60.3 (state 70.4) after three years above state. No student group ranked above the state median in 2025–2026. The school reached the 51st percentile in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, dipped, rebounded to 48th in 2024–2025, then slipped back to 39th — so no sustained upward trend is yet established.
