Summary

Frank Jacinto Elementary is a PK–5 school in Lorain, Ohio, serving 307 students in the Lorain City School District, which itself ranks 733rd of 773 Ohio districts. The school's 2025–2026 state rank is 1492nd of 1560 elementary schools — the 4th percentile — with 0 stars. This is not a one-year dip: Frank Jacinto Elementary has generally placed in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with one exception in 2016–2017, when it reached the 22nd percentile.

Proficiency rates are low, especially in the early grades. Averaged across the seven tested subject-and-grade results in 2025–2026, roughly 19.1% of students were proficient, versus about 28.8% for the district and about 63.8% statewide. The weakest results are Grade 3 math (7.3%) and Grade 4 English language arts (9.4%), with Grade 3 ELA (16.7%) and Grade 4 math (13.2%) close behind. Grade 5 math is the clearest bright spot: 31.6% proficient, above the district's 22.1% and above Garfield Elementary School (5%), Washington Elementary School (16.2%), Toni Wofford Morrison Elementary School (10.3%), Stevan Dohanos Elementary School (25%) and Hawthorne Elementary School (7.4%) — though still far below Ohio's 59.1%. Notably, Toni Wofford Morrison Elementary School (22nd percentile) and Hawthorne Elementary School (20th percentile) achieve higher results within the same district.

Attendance is a major barrier, though the trend is improving: chronic absenteeism fell from 69.1% in 2021–2022 to 51.7% in 2025–2026, below the district's 56.5% but still higher than most same-district peers, including Stevan Dohanos Elementary School (32.3%) and Washington Elementary School (43.4%). Among student groups, the school's highest state ranking is for its Hispanic students (14th percentile), while students with disabilities (3rd percentile) and low-income students (4th percentile) rank near the bottom statewide. Resources do not obviously explain the low performance: per-student spending of $10,798 and a 15.7 student-teacher ratio are in line with nearby Lorain City elementaries. Overall, Frank Jacinto shows a few grade-level signs of progress against a long-standing pattern of very low achievement.
