Summary

Perrin Woods Elementary School is a K–6 neighborhood school on Springfield's west side, serving 383 students in the Springfield City School District and located within roughly three miles of eight other district elementaries plus several charter and suburban options.

Academically, Perrin Woods ranks 1,356th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (13th percentile, 1 star) — a bottom-decile position, but also its best ranking in five years and its first 1-star result since 2020–21. Locally it lands fourth of eight in-district elementaries: Snowhill Elementary School ranks in the 35th percentile with 2 stars and Lagonda Elementary School in the 19th, while Fulton Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School sit in the 4th percentile with 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism is the school's clearest strength: 28.2%, down 9.1 points from 2022–23 and below the district's 34.7% in every year reported.

There are real bright spots. Fourth-grade math (51.4% proficient) runs 13.8 points above the district; third- and fourth-grade ELA also beat district averages; and Math 3, ELA 3, and ELA 4 have each improved three years running. Persistent weak spots are sixth-grade math (9.1%) and ELA (18.2%), fifth-grade science (18.2%, a 44.5-point gap to the state), and special education students, who have held in the 6th–9th percentile for three straight years. Because each grade has only about 40–60 students, single-year swings can be noisy — the multi-year trends are the more reliable signal. Nearby Shawnee Elementary School (Clark-Shawnee Local) ranks in the 53rd percentile while spending less per student, suggesting funding is not the main driver of results.
