Summary

Washington Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Lorain, Ohio, serving 287 students as part of the Lorain City district, which ranks 733rd of 773 Ohio districts (5th percentile, 0 stars). In 2025–2026, Washington ranked 1,477th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools—the 5th percentile, 0 stars—and its history shows long-term low performance rather than a one-year dip: from 2015–2016 through 2024–2025, its statewide percentile ranged mostly from 7 to 15.

Locally, Washington sits near the bottom but is not the lowest. Among same-district nearby schools, 2025–2026 percentiles were 22nd for Toni Wofford Morrison Elementary School, 20th for Hawthorne Elementary School, 7th each for Stevan Dohanos Elementary School and Admiral King Elementary School, 5th for Washington, 4th for Frank Jacinto Elementary, and 2nd for Garfield Elementary School. Nearby charters Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy (24th) and Lorain Preparatory Academy (16th) also placed higher. Its clearest relative strength is 5th grade science, where 27% proficiency led same-district nearby schools and edged the district's 25.8%—though it was far below the state's 62.7% and down from 51.2% and 46.4% in the two prior years. Fifth grade ELA, at 43.2%, is near the district's 44.2% and has climbed from 22.9% in 2022–2023. The sharpest weaknesses are in 3rd grade: math at 4.8% (district 22.2%, state 62.1%) and ELA at 14% (district 28.4%, state 63.4%) were both the lowest among same-district peers, and 3rd grade math has fallen for several years.

Chronic absenteeism is high at 43.4%, but below the district's 56.5% and better than Frank Jacinto, Garfield, Admiral King, Lorain Preparatory Academy, Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners-Lorain, and Constellation Schools: Lorain Community Elementary; it is higher than Stevan Dohanos, Toni Wofford Morrison, Hawthorne, and Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy. The rate has improved from 51.8% in 2021–2022. Washington's student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is the lowest among same-district peers, yet overall results remain low. Reported subgroup rankings are mostly in the bottom decile, though small group sizes make them volatile. Note that free/reduced lunch data are blank and spending data only covers 2018–2019.
