Summary

Denver Place Elementary School is a public school in Wilmington, Ohio, serving about 483 students in grades 2–5 as part of Wilmington City School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,101st out of 1,560 Ohio schools (29th percentile, 1 star), a drop from 2-star ratings and 37th–43rd percentile results in 2021–2022 through 2024–2025. The district itself ranks 534th of 773 districts in the state (31st percentile, 2 stars). About 63.74% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024 (the 2024–2025 figure was not reported), and the student-teacher ratio was 18.5 in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Denver Place scored below the Ohio state proficiency level in every tested subject and grade. Third grade English language arts was 40.9% versus the state's 63.4% — a gap of 22.5 points — while 5th grade math was 45.8% against 59.1%, and 5th grade science was 52.9% against 62.7%. Among nearby schools reporting the same grades, Denver Place was the lowest performer in every area: nearby 3rd grade ELA results ranged from 55.3% to 87.6%, 4th grade math from 76.3% to 97.2%, and 5th grade science from 54.3% to 87.0%. Several scores also fell sharply from 2024–2025, when 5th grade science reached 68% and 5th grade ELA 68%.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest bright spot. It fell from 34.1% in 2021–2022 to 12.9% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 19.2% and better than same-district Roy E Holmes Elementary School (17.6%), McKinley Elementary School (18.7%), and Arrowood Elementary (26.0%), though Fairfield Local Elementary School (9.4%) and Waynesville Elementary School (10.3%) remain lower. Current subgroup results are weak, including for special education students (23rd percentile, 1 star) and low-income students (35th percentile, 2 stars). Poverty and spending alone don't explain the gaps: Fairfield Local Elementary had a higher free/reduced lunch rate (86.05%) yet much higher proficiency, and Clinton-Massie Elementary School spent less per student ($8,110) while ranking in the 76th percentile.
