Summary
Rossford Elementary School in Rossford, OH, is a PK–5 school serving 812 students in the Rossford Exempted Village district, a suburban community just south of Toledo. It is the district's main tested elementary, meaning nearly all of the district's elementary test results come from this one building. Its state rank in 2025–2026 was 879 of 1,560 schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), placing it squarely in the middle of Ohio elementary schools. That middle position is not new: over the past decade, the school has stayed between the 39th and 50th percentile every year, with a brief high of 50th percentile in 2022–2023.
The clearest academic concern is math, which is below the state average at every grade level. Third-grade math proficiency has fallen sharply, from 71.1% in 2022–2023—well above the state—to 54.8% in 2025–2026, well below it. Fourth- and fifth-grade math are also behind the state. English language arts, by contrast, is essentially at the state line, and fifth-grade science is a bright spot at 67.5%, which is 4.8 points above the state and a five-year high. Compared with nearby schools, Rossford trails Maumee Intermediate School, which has nearly identical poverty rates, by 10–21 points on shared grades. Schools in the Perrysburg Exempted Village district, such as Frank Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School, post much higher scores, though their poverty rates are also much lower.
The school's student population has shifted: free/reduced lunch rose from 37% in 2022–2023 to about 48% in 2024–2025. Class sizes are the largest in the comparison group at 19.1 students per teacher, though that ratio has improved from 21.5. Per-student spending was $12,164 in 2018–2019, the highest in the comparison set. Chronic absenteeism is 15.1%, better than the Rossford Exempted Village district every year but up from a low of 11.5% in 2023–2024. Special education students remain at the 20th percentile with 1 star for three straight years, and low-income students have slipped from the 48th to the 39th percentile. These are the areas where the school's overall 2-star rating is being set.
