Summary

Ada Elementary School is a K–5 school with 461 students in the Ada Exempted Village district in Ada, Ohio, a small community in the northwest part of the state, and it currently ranks 243rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 84th percentile, 4 stars.

Ada is the strongest school in its immediate area and sits in a clear second tier among nearby schools. It trails two elite performers: Bluffton Elementary School (43rd, 97th percentile) about 9 miles away and Bath Elementary School (158th, 90th percentile) about 12 miles away. It leads Arlington Local Elementary School (79th), Hardin Northern Elementary School (78th), Waynesfield-Goshen Local Elementary School (49th), Cory-Rawson Elementary School (46th), Upper Scioto Valley Elementary School (46th), Perry Elementary School (43rd), Allen East Elementary School (40th) and Freedom Elementary School (30th). In fourth-grade math, Ada is essentially level with both leaders (93.8% proficient versus Bluffton's 93.9% and Bath's 91.0%). Ada scored above the state average on all seven tests reported in 2025–26, by margins of 12 to 27 points, and its low-income students rank 181st of 1,467 schools (88th percentile) — higher than the school's overall standing, which suggests strong results for that group. Gifted and talented students rank 5th of 90 schools (94th percentile), though that comparison pool is small.

Ada's trajectory is upward: after a low of 58th percentile in 2023–24, it rebounded to 75th and now 84th, its best in ten years. Chronic absenteeism fell from 23.2% to 8.9%, though that is still higher than Bluffton (4.2%) and Arlington (3.7%). Ada's narrowest leads over the state are in fifth-grade reading and science and fourth-grade reading. Two caveats: the 2023–24 dip and recovery partly reflect a grade configuration change (grade 6 appears in earlier data but not in 2025–26), and spending figures are from 2018–19 and shouldn't be compared directly with current results.
