Summary

John McIntire Elementary School is a PK–6 neighborhood school serving 604 students at 1275 Roosevelt Ave in Zanesville, Ohio, and it is one of three PK–6 elementaries in the Zanesville City district.

It is the strongest of the district's three elementaries and performs close to the statewide average — ranking in the 49th percentile (2 stars) while its district sits at the 29th percentile (1 star). The long-term trend is upward, from the mid-30s percentile a decade ago to the mid-50s in 2023–2025, though the most recent year slipped back to 49. Averaged across tested grades, math and English language arts proficiency land almost exactly at the state composite, while district averages run roughly 7–11 points lower. The school's most impressive results come with its highest-need students: special education students rank in the 78th percentile (4 stars for three straight years) and low-income students in the 69th percentile — both above the school's own overall rank.

Results vary sharply by grade. Fourth grade is a genuine bright spot, with math proficiency of 85.2% — 18 points above the state — and a four-year climb. Fifth grade has declined three straight years in math, ELA and science; math now sits at 40.6%, below both the district (45.8%) and state (59.1%). Sixth grade has turned around, with math at 67.9% and ELA at 61.4%, both above state averages. The clearest drag is chronic absenteeism at 21.1% — better than the district's 30.0%, but roughly four times Nashport Elementary School's 5.2% and well above West Muskingum Elementary School's 12.5%. Among nearby schools, John McIntire trails Nashport, West Muskingum and Adamsville Elementary School, but leads Roseville Elementary School and its district peer Zane Grey Elementary School.
