Summary

Eliza Northrop Elementary is a K–5 public school in Medina, Ohio, serving 466 students as part of the Medina City School District. The district is highly ranked (133rd of 773 Ohio districts), but the school's own 2025–2026 rank is 623rd of 1,560 schools — about the 60th percentile, down from 74th percentile in 2024–2025.

Attendance is the school's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 6.1% in 2025–2026, far below the district's 15.2% and among the lowest of nearby schools — roughly tied with Sharon Elementary School (6.0%) and Ralph E. Waite Elementary (5.6%), and better than most others, including Sidney Fenn Elementary School, Hickory Ridge Elementary School, Ella Canavan Elementary School, Buckeye Primary School, Huntington Elementary School, Applewood Elementary School, and H G Blake Elementary School. Academically, results are mixed: proficiency is above the state average in 3rd and 4th grade math, 3rd and 4th grade ELA, and 5th grade ELA (82.5%, close to the district's 83.0%), but below the state in 5th grade math (54.8%) and 5th grade science (61.3%) — and below district averages in every subject. Those 5th grade math and science figures are the lowest among nearby schools reporting 5th grade results, including Granger Elementary School and Sharon Elementary School.

Subgroup results point to areas worth watching: special education effectiveness has sat in the bottom quartile for three years (24th percentile, 1 star in 2025–2026), well below the school's overall rank, and the low-income subgroup fell from the 81st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 40th in 2025–2026. About 31.55% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 18.2. Within the district, Eliza Northrop trails Ralph E. Waite Elementary, Sidney Fenn Elementary School, and Ella Canavan Elementary School — putting it at the lower end among the district's elementary schools in 2025–2026.

My son switched to this school after we had major issues with a school in Fairlawn area. His teacher and the staff were very helpful in getting him caught up and making friends. He finished last year out well and is very excited to start again this month! The staff is very friendly. My younger son is starting Pre-school there this year too. They are so excited to be in the same building at school. Close Quote
