Hicksville Elementary School

45^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 97% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Hicksville Elementary School is a K–4 school serving 375 students in Hicksville, Ohio, a small community in the Defiance County area, and it is the only elementary school in the Hicksville Exempted Village School District — so the district's test results and the school's results are identical in every reported year.

That shared record is a strong one. The district ranks 36th of 773 Ohio districts (95th percentile), and the school ranked 45th of 1,560 elementary schools statewide in 2025-26 — its best showing in ten years of history and its highest percentile at 97. Over the past decade it has never fallen below the 84th percentile. Because nearby schools run through grade 5 or 6, the fairest comparison is grades 3 and 4: Hicksville is first in its peer group on all four tested measures, averaging 93.1% proficient versus 77.6% for the seven nearby schools and 63.7% statewide. Grade 4 math reached 100% proficient, and Grade 3 math and ELA each came in at 95.4%.

What stands out most is who is achieving those results. The school reports near-universal free/reduced-price lunch participation, among the highest in the region, yet its low-income students rank in the 98th percentile statewide and its special-education students in the 98th percentile as well. Chronic absenteeism is 4.7%, roughly half the district's rate and about half the average of nearby schools such as Edgerton Elementary School and Antwerp Local Elementary School. Class sizes are the smallest in the group, at 12.9 students per teacher. Two things to watch: Grade 4 ELA has slipped for three years (88.9 → 86.5 → 81.4), and the school earns its ranking without any grade 5 or 6 results. Spending data comes from 2018-19, and 2024-25 free-lunch figures are unavailable.
