Summary

Wapakoneta Elementary is a PK–4 school serving about 800 students in Wapakoneta, Ohio, part of the Wapakoneta City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 526th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 66th percentile, 3 stars — a rebound from 2024–2025, when it slipped to the 49th percentile with 2 stars. That puts it above the state median and above its own district average, though not among the area's top performers, such as New Knoxville Elementary School (96th percentile, 5 stars) or Botkins Elementary School (94th percentile, 5 stars).

Test scores beat state and district averages in every tested grade 3 and grade 4 subject. Grade 4 math is a standout at 81.5% proficiency, versus 67.3% statewide, and it has stayed strong for four years. Grade 3 math rose from 61.8% to 72.1%, and grade 4 ELA recovered from 57.1% to 71.2%. The school also clearly outperforms its same-district peer, Cridersville Elementary School, which ranks in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars and posts much lower scores — a gap of 29.2 points in grade 4 math and 32.7 points in grade 4 ELA. ELA is where the larger gap remains against area high performers, who post scores in the 80s.

Chronic absenteeism is a major strength: 7.9% in 2025–2026, down from 19.8% in 2021–2022 and roughly half the district's 15.4%. It is also lower than Cridersville's 14.5%, Perry Elementary School's 17.0%, and Elmwood Elementary School's 13.3%. The clearest internal concern is the low-SES achievement gap: overall the school ranks in the 66th percentile, but low-SES students rank in the 49th percentile, even as free/reduced lunch eligibility rose to 52.5%. With the largest enrollment and highest student-teacher ratio (21.6) among nearby schools, plus one of the lowest reported per-student spending figures, the school's above-state results are notable.
