Summary

Main Street School is a public elementary school in Norwalk, OH, serving about 375 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Norwalk City district. In 2025–2026, it ranks 453rd of 1,560 Ohio schools—71st percentile, 4 stars—which is above the district’s 57th percentile, 3-star standing. Its tested grades are mainly 4th and 5th, plus 5th-grade science, and it is above the state average in every reported subject.

Academically, the school’s standout is 4th-grade math at 89.8% proficient, 22.5 points above Ohio and higher than nearby Bellevue Elementary School (82.3%), Woodlands Elementary School (77.5%), Monroeville Elementary School (80.6%), Meadowlawn Elementary School (77.8%), and Western Reserve Elementary School (70.6%). Fifth-grade ELA is 80.2%, science is 75.1%, and math is 67.6%, all above district and state. Fifth-grade math had dipped to 53.9% in 2024–2025 but rebounded to 67.6% in 2025–2026. Compared with nearby schools, Woodlands is stronger overall, Bellevue is roughly similar overall, and Main Street School is clearly above Meadowlawn, Western Reserve, and Monroeville. Within the same district, Pleasant Elementary School has stronger 3rd-grade results and lower absenteeism, while Maplehurst Elementary School has much higher absenteeism.

Attendance is a major bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 21.5% in 2022–2023 to 11.7% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 18.4%, though still higher than the best nearby schools. The school also reports strong subgroup effectiveness for low-income students (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and English Language Learner students (90th percentile, 4 stars); special education students rank closer to the state median (58th percentile, 3 stars). Its 2023–2024 free/reduced lunch rate was 54.67%, higher than several nearby schools, yet low-income student effectiveness is a strength. Reported per-student spending was $7,107 in 2018–2019, the lowest among nearby schools listed, although that figure is old. Overall, Main Street School is a solidly above-average school with strong current test scores, improving attendance, and room to grow in 5th-grade math consistency and some subgroup outcomes.
