Summary

Tallmadge Elementary School is a K–5 school in Tallmadge, Ohio, serving 1,088 students — by far the largest school among its nearby comparison schools. It is part of Tallmadge City, which ranks 288th of 773 Ohio districts (63rd percentile, 3 stars), and the school itself ranked 770th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-2026 — 51st percentile, 3 stars.

Two features stand out. First, size: with 1,088 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.5, Tallmadge is larger and has bigger classes than every nearby school, most of which sit in the 12.7–17.1 ratio range. Second, it generally outperforms its nearby Akron City and Summit Academy Akron Elementary School counterparts: its 51st percentile rank is above Elizabeth Price (43rd), Preston (38th), Ritzman (37th), Forest Hill (25th), Seiberling (24th), Betty Jane (21st), Barber (19th), and Summit Academy Akron (11th) — but trails Riverview (69th) and Windemere (66th). Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength at 10.1% — lower than the district's 14.8% and lower than every nearby school except Riverview (8.4%); 2024-2025 free/reduced lunch was 35.48%.

Academically, results split by grade. Tallmadge is above the state in 4th-grade math (74.9%), 4th-grade ELA (64.3%) and 5th-grade ELA (78.4%), and roughly at the state level in 5th-grade math and science. Its weak spot is 3rd grade, where math (55.4%) and ELA (60.1%) fall below the state and behind several nearby schools. The longer trend is a gradual slide: 76th percentile in 2015-2016 (4 stars), 68th in 2022-2023, then 56th, 55th and 51st. Subgroup results also lag — low-income students at 29th percentile (1 star), down from 54th in 2023-2024, and English language learners at 31st percentile, down from 78th in 2023-2024.
