Summary

Daw Elementary School is a grades 3–6 school in Wellsville, OH, serving 203 students in the Wellsville Local district in eastern Ohio. It ranks 946th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025‑26 (39th percentile, 2 stars), which is above its district’s 1-star, 19th-percentile showing but still below the state median. The school’s rank fell from 3 stars and 56th–58th percentile in 2015‑16 through 2017‑18 to 2 stars and 30th–40th percentile in the 2020s, with a modest recent uptick from 30th percentile in 2022‑23 to 39th in 2025‑26.

Two structural strengths stand out. Chronic absenteeism improved to 19.9% in 2025‑26 from 30.2% the prior year and is below the district’s 25.8%, though some nearby schools do better, including Pugliese Elementary West at 1.2% and John E Gregg Elementary School at 8.0%. The student‑teacher ratio is 12.3, the lowest among nearby schools and much lower than same-district Garfield Elementary School at 25.7. Test scores, however, are highly uneven: 4th grade is exceptionally strong at 87.5% proficient in both math and ELA, well above state rates, while 5th and 6th grade lag. Fifth‑grade ELA is 40.7% vs. 70.4% statewide, 5th math is 37% vs. 59.1%, and 6th‑grade ELA is 34.2% vs. 56%; 6th‑grade ELA has been persistently low for four years. Fourth grade is a regional bright spot, but upper‑grade ELA is a clear challenge.

For parents, Daw Elementary School is doing better than its district overall, with favorable staffing and improving attendance. It outperforms East Liverpool City schools such as Lacroft Elementary School and North Elementary School academically and on absenteeism, but trails stronger Edison Local schools like Stanton Elementary School and John E Gregg Elementary School, and is far behind Pugliese Elementary West. Subgroup data show relatively stronger results for low‑income students (49th percentile) than the school overall (39th), while special education students are at 34th percentile and female students (44th) outrank male students (33rd). Free/reduced lunch data is suppressed by the state, and 2018‑19 spending was $11,142 per student. Overall, the school has clear strengths in 4th grade, staffing, and attendance, but upper‑grade reading and math remain the main areas to watch.
