Summary

West Main Elementary School is a grades 2–4 school in Ravenna, Ohio, serving 297 students in the Ravenna City district. It holds a 2-star rating and ranked 1077th of 1560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 (31st percentile), a major drop from 2015–2016, when it ranked 543rd of 1678 schools (68th percentile, 3 stars). Over the past three years its statewide percentile has been flat—32nd, 30th, and 31st—suggesting the slide has stopped but not clearly reversed. The district itself ranks 629th of 773 Ohio districts (19th percentile, 1 star), and nearby districts such as Stow-Munroe Falls City School District, Kent City, Field Local, Rootstown Local, and Streetsboro City are all rated higher.

Academics are mixed. Third grade math is the clearest weakness: 30.9% proficiency in 2025–2026, versus 32.2% in the district and 62.1% statewide, and lower than every nearby school with comparable data, including Woodland Elementary School, Holden Elementary School, Walls Elementary School, Longcoy Elementary School, Brimfield Elementary School, Rootstown Elementary School, Davey Elementary School, and Henry Defer Intermediate Elementary School. This has been a multi-year pattern. Fourth grade math, by contrast, was 66.4%, essentially at the state's 67.3% and above the district's 61.7%, beating Longcoy, Holden, Walls, and Brimfield. English language arts is middling: 3rd grade 55% and 4th grade 55.1%, both below state averages, with 4th grade slightly above the district. Because the school serves grades 2–4, no 5th grade science data applies.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest environmental hurdle. West Main's rate was 28.1% in 2025–2026, down from 34.6% in 2023–2024 and below the district's 37.0% each recent year—but far above nearby schools, which range from 8.9% to 21.6%. The only nearby school higher is Willyard Elementary School (34.1%), the K–2 feeder 0.59 miles away, so early-grade attendance may be shaping later results. Spending was $7,536 per student in 2018–2019, the lowest among comparison schools, yet the student-teacher ratio of 15.6 is more favorable than most neighbors. One bright spot: special education rose from the 7th to the 39th percentile in a single year.
