Summary

Covington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 360 students in grades K-5 in Covington, Ohio, which is part of the Covington Exempted Village School District. The school has consistently outperformed the state average on Ohio state tests, with strong academic performance across grade levels and subjects.

In 2024-2025, Covington Elementary had 70.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. In Math, 76.8% of 3rd graders, 78.9% of 4th graders, and 70.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better, all significantly higher than the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% in 2024-2025 was also lower than the state average and several nearby schools, such as Heywood Elementary and Bradford Elementary, which have higher chronic absenteeism rates.

While Covington Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, its statewide ranking has declined from 306th out of 1,588 schools in 2021-2022 to 475th out of 1,558 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be facing some challenges that are impacting its relative performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's performance for disabled students is an area of concern, with the school ranking 489th out of 824 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 and receiving a 2-star rating for this subgroup.
