Summary

Starr Elementary School is a K–4 school serving 472 students on Starr Avenue in Oregon, Ohio, a small city just east of Toledo. It is the largest elementary in its comparison group and holds a 50th percentile rank — 777th of 1,560 schools, with 3 stars — in 2025–26. That places it at the exact state midpoint and marks a rebound from the 45th percentile in 2023–24, though still below the 60th percentile the school reached in 2016–17. It also sits about 15 percentile points below its own district, Oregon City (65th percentile), which suggests the district's standing is being carried largely by its other elementary.

The school's clearest strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism stands at 14.0%, the second-lowest in the comparison set — far below the 35%–54% range at nearby Toledo City schools and better than the district's 19.6%. Starr cut absenteeism from 26.9% in 2021–22 to 14.0% in 2025–26 while the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch rose from 44.3% to 52.1%. Academically, the profile is split: 4th grade math (71.4%) beats the state (67.3%) and has done so for four straight years, while 3rd grade math (58.8%) and 3rd grade ELA (62.5%) run slightly below state averages.

The most informative comparison is Coy Elementary School, 1.13 miles away in the same district, with the same K–4 grades, nearly identical funding ($11,025 vs. $10,954 per student), similar class sizes and a comparable low-income rate. Coy ranks in the 75th–80th percentile with 4 stars and outperforms Starr on all four tested measures, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade (28 points in math). Because resources and enrollment mix are so similar, that gap points to early-grades instruction as the place to focus. Within Starr, special education students (19th percentile in 2022–23, 30th in 2023–24) and low-income students (43rd percentile) score well below the school's overall 50th percentile.
