Summary

Covington Elementary School in Covington, OH is a K–5 school with 380 students in the Covington Exempted Village district, and it currently ranks in the 63rd percentile of Ohio elementary schools with 3 stars — slightly above its own district's 59th percentile.

Academically, Covington is doing solid work. In 2025–26 it scored above the Ohio average in every reported subject and grade, averaging roughly 71.3% proficient compared with about 63.8% statewide. Math is the clearest strength, running about 10 points above the state average, while English language arts is closer to about 4 points above. Science is stable and consistently above state. Two areas are worth watching: fifth-grade ELA is only 1.0 point above the state average, and fourth-grade ELA dropped from 84.2% to 65.7% in a single year, though it remains above state. Attendance is a genuine bright spot — chronic absenteeism fell from 23.0% in 2021–22 to 6.1% in 2025–26, better than the district (9.3%) and better than most nearby schools, with only Russia Elementary School and Concord Elementary School lower. Class sizes are also reasonable, with a 15.2 student/teacher ratio.

Compared with neighbors, Covington sits squarely in the middle. Russia Elementary School (99th percentile), Newton Elementary School, Concord Elementary School, Hardin Houston Elementary School, and Hook Elementary School generally post higher proficiency, while Heywood Elementary School, Bradford Elementary School, and the Piqua schools trail it. One caveat: Covington's school-wide results are stronger than its results for some groups, including special education students (37th percentile) and students from low-income families, which have slipped from the 78th to the 59th percentile in recent years. Also note the school has eased from 4 stars and the 81st percentile in 2021–22 down to 3 stars today.
