Summary

Fulton Elementary School is a K–6 school in Springfield, Ohio, serving 444 students as part of the Springfield City School District. Its size is comparable to nearby district elementaries. The district ranks 704th of 773 districts in Ohio (9th percentile, 0 stars), and Fulton ranks 1490th of 1560 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (4th percentile, 0 stars). Over the past decade, its statewide percentile has ranged from 4 to 15, never rising above the 15th percentile.

Test scores are far below district and state averages. Across the nine reported 2025–2026 tests, Fulton averaged about 19.1% proficient, versus about 32.4% for the district and 62.1% for the state. Fifth grade science (6.7% vs. 62.7% statewide) and fifth grade ELA (17.8% vs. 70.4%) are the largest gaps. Sixth grade math is a small relative bright spot: 20.0% proficient, slightly above the district's 19.4% but far below the state's 56.2%. Compared with nearby same-district schools, Fulton is at or near the bottom: Snowhill Elementary School averages about 52.6% and ranks at the 35th percentile, while Kenton Elementary School (42.1%, 25th percentile) and Lagonda Elementary School (36.5%) also score higher. Fulton is essentially tied with Lincoln Elementary School.

Attendance is Fulton's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism fell from 48.1% in 2021–2022 to 24.4% in 2025–2026, moving from slightly above the district rate to 10.3 points below it and lower than most nearby schools. Nearby charter schools, including Springfield Preparatory and Fitness Academy and Springfield Sports Academy, had much higher chronic absenteeism (47.5% and 65.1%). For students in special education, the school ranked at the 21st percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 2nd percentile a year earlier, though that trend has been uneven. Staffing and spending don't appear to explain the gap: Fulton's student-teacher ratio (15.3) and per-student spending ($10,010 in 2018–2019) are near the middle or top of nearby same-district schools, including Snowhill ($9,956, ratio 15.5). Free/reduced lunch data was not available.
