Summary

Sharpsburg Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 4400 Smith Rd in Norwood, OH — a small enclave city surrounded by Cincinnati — serving 261 students in the Norwood City district. It ranks 859th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools for 2025–26 (45th percentile, 2 stars), which is about 10 percentile points above its district’s overall standing. Class sizes are relatively modest, with a 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25.

The long trend shows a real climb followed by a recent slide. Sharpsburg rose from 23rd percentile and 1 star in 2005–06 to a stable 58th–60th percentile band from 2022–24, but 2025–26 fell to 45th percentile and 2 stars. Grade results are uneven: 4th grade is a clear strength at 78.1% proficient in both math and ELA, above district and state averages and the top 4th-grade result among Norwood elementaries, while 3rd-grade ELA is the standout weakness at 40.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 28.8%, improved by 14 points since 2021–22 and now below the district’s 32.6%, though still the highest among the three Norwood elementaries. Low-income students rank at the 62nd percentile statewide, 17 points above the school’s overall standing, though that subgroup has slipped from 82nd percentile in 2024–25.

Compared with nearby schools, Sharpsburg is the highest-ranked of Norwood’s three PK–5 elementaries — ahead of Williams Avenue Elementary School and Norwood View Elementary School — while spending the least per student ($10,099 in 2018–19) and having the best PK–5 student-teacher ratio. The Norwood Montessori School has much lower chronic absenteeism (12.4%) but serves PK–4 with partial data. Farther away, Kilgour School and Hyde Park School in Cincinnati Public Schools post 5-star results with chronic absenteeism under 10%, while Bond Hill Academy has 60.2% absenteeism. Because Sharpsburg is small, single-year swings can be noisy; the 3rd-grade ELA result is worth watching before treating the 2025–26 drop as a durable change.
