Summary

National Road is a K–6 elementary school in Zanesville, Ohio, serving 387 students in the Zanesville City School District. The school ranked 878 of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–26 (44th percentile, 2 stars), which places it above its district's overall standing of 552 of 773 (29th percentile, 1 star) but slightly below the state median. The longer-term trend is encouraging: National Road sat at the 23rd percentile (1 star) in 2015–16, dipped to 34th percentile in 2024–25, then rebounded to 44th percentile in 2025–26.

Math is National Road's clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, grade 3 math was 78.3% proficient (district 50.0%, state 62.1%), grade 4 math 73.3% (district 62.9%, state 67.3%), and grade 5 math 61.4% (district 45.8%, state 59.1%). Grade 5 science was 63.6%, above both district and state. English language arts is more uneven: grade 3 ELA was 66.0% and grade 5 ELA 65.9%, but grade 4 ELA (39.1%) and grade 6 ELA (35.9%) fall well below district and state averages. Compared with John McIntire Elementary School, National Road is stronger in grade 3 and grade 5 math and ELA but weaker in both grade 4 and grade 6, while it outperforms Zane Grey Elementary School in most tested areas.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest challenge: 29.1% in 2025–26, improved from 33.1% in 2021–22 and slightly below the district's 30.0%, but higher than every nearby comparison school shown, including Maysville Elementary School (18.3%) and Nashport Elementary School (5.2%). The student-teacher ratio rose to 22.7 in 2024–25 from 16.7 the prior year, well above John McIntire's 17.2 and Zane Grey's 16.9. Per-student spending was $9,220 in 2018–19, the highest among listed nearby schools, though that figure is dated. Notably, low-income students (60th percentile, 3 stars), special education students (56th percentile, 3 stars), and female students (51st percentile, 3 stars) rank above the school's overall percentile, while male students rank 38th percentile.
