Summary

Anna Marie Ayers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 527 students in grades PK-4 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, which is part of the Martins Ferry City School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 397 to 1018 out of over 1,600 Ohio elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 780 out of 1,558 Ohio elementary schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's strengths is its performance for special education and low-income students, ranking in the top 5% and top 25% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. However, the school's performance for female, male, and white students has been more average, with rankings in the middle to lower half of Ohio elementary schools. Chronic absenteeism has been a persistent issue for the school, with rates ranging from 25.7% to 33.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Powhatan Elementary School and Hills Elementary School have also shown mixed academic performance, while Buckeye West Elementary School and Buckeye North Elementary School have generally performed better. Addressing the persistent chronic absenteeism and ensuring more consistent academic performance across subject areas could help improve Anna Marie Ayers Elementary School's overall outcomes for all students.
