Summary

Joshua Dixon Elementary School is a PK–4 neighborhood school at 333 N Middle St in Columbiana, Ohio, serving 363 students in the Mahoning Valley region as part of the Columbiana Exempted Village district, which ranks 92nd of 773 Ohio districts.

For 2025-2026, the school ranked 425th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars), a step back from the 87th–88th percentile it held over the two prior years. The dip is concentrated in third grade, where proficiency fell about 15 points in one year in both math (down to 67.1%) and English language arts (down to 70.0%) — still above the state averages of 62.1% and 63.4%, but by a much smaller margin than before. Fourth grade is the standout: 89.1% proficient in math and 87.3% in ELA, roughly 22 and 25 points above the state. Because one grade gave back ground while the other held steady or improved, the pattern looks more like one weaker class moving through the building than a schoolwide instructional problem, though parents will want to see whether third grade rebounds next year.

Among nearby schools, South Range Elementary School, about 4.8 miles away, outperforms on every measure and sets the regional ceiling, while Crestview Elementary School, 3.5 miles away and similar in size, is the closest peer — and Joshua Dixon outscores it on all four state tests. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 19.7% to 10.7% in three years, now below the district rate, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is among the leanest in the area. Notably, the school's low-income students have tested at the 99th and 93rd percentiles statewide in recent years, near the top of Ohio.
