of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Etna Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in Whitehall, OH, serving about 505 students in grades 2–5 as part of the Whitehall City district. The district ranks 665th of 773 Ohio districts (14th percentile, 1 star), and Etna ranks 1218th of 1560 schools (22nd percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26 — better than its district overall, but still in the lower quarter of the state. Its rank has slipped from the 33rd percentile in 2022–23 and 32nd in 2023–24 to 24th in 2024–25 and 22nd in 2025–26, moving from 2 stars to 1 star.

Attendance is Etna's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 20.8% in 2025–26, down from 30.3% in 2021–22 and well below the district's 34.2% — the lowest rate among listed nearby schools, including Beechwood at 21.8%. On tests, Etna beat district averages in all seven tested subjects but stayed below Ohio averages in every one. Fourth grade math (54.2%) and fifth grade ELA (60.4%) are relative strengths; third grade math (32.4% vs. 62.1% statewide) and third grade ELA (34.0% vs. 63.4%) show the widest gaps. Etna outscored Beechwood Elementary School, its same-district, same-grade neighbor, in every subject, and against Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School, a similar-sized Columbus peer, Etna leads in math while Olde Orchard leads in ELA.

Subgroup effectiveness rankings vary widely. Etna's effectiveness ranking for its African American students sits at the 66th percentile (3 stars), far above the school's overall 22nd percentile, while special education (12th percentile), White students (13th), low-income students (25%), and English learners (29th) rank much lower — many down from 2023–24. Staffing and spending look modest: a student/teacher ratio of 18 in 2024–25 and $7,668 per student in 2018–19, lower than most nearby schools, including the Columbus City Schools District comparables.
