Summary

Coldwater Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving 630 students in grades K-4 in Coldwater, Ohio. Part of the Coldwater Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 65th out of 828 districts in Ohio, Coldwater Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is exceptional, with 87.9% of 3rd graders and 90.4% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state averages of 64.4% and 69.1%, respectively. Coldwater Elementary also performs well across various student subgroups, ranking 101st out of 1,452 Ohio elementary schools for female students and 84th out of 1,175 for white students. Additionally, the school maintains low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.2% to 4.5% over the past few years, significantly lower than the state average.

While Coldwater Elementary School outperforms the state, some nearby schools, such as Marion Local Elementary School and St. Henry Elementary School, also demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with even higher proficiency rates and rankings. This suggests that the region may have a strong educational ecosystem that supports high-performing schools. However, the school's lower performance for students with disabilities indicates that there may be opportunities to further support and address the needs of this student population.
