Summary

L. T. Ball Intermediate School is a grades 3–5 building with 543 students in Tipp City, Ohio, part of the Tipp City Exempted Village district. In 2025–26 it ranked 162nd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 90th percentile, with 4 stars.

That level has held for a decade: L. T. Ball Intermediate School has never fallen below the 86th percentile or 4 stars in ten reporting years. In 2025–26 it beat the Ohio average in every tested subject and grade, by margins of roughly 15 to 24 points — Math 5 and ELA 3 each landed about 24 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is 5.0%, lower than its district's 7.4% and lower than every nearby school, from Concord Elementary School at 5.8% to Cookson Elementary School at 24.9%. Among neighbors, Concord is the closest performance peer and genuinely ahead — 92nd percentile, 5 stars, leading five of seven tested areas — with lower poverty, smaller classes, and higher spending. Against Forest Elementary School, the only other nearby school serving a similar grade band, Ball wins every tested area by wide margins (Science 5: 78.7 vs. 40.3). Ball also clearly outperforms Bethel Elementary School on the grades they share.

Ball gets these results economically: about $9,766 per student and a 19.3-to-1 student–teacher ratio, leaner than several Troy City buildings that spend $10,200 to $11,600 per student. Notably, its free/reduced lunch rate roughly doubled, from 9.97% in 2022–23 to 21.92% in 2024–25, while its percentile rose from 86 to 92. Subgroup results are strong but uneven: female students hold at the 91st percentile and low-income students improved to the 85th, while male students slipped from 93rd to 86th and special education students declined from the 86th to the 74th percentile. Its K–2 feeder, Broadway Elementary School, shares nearly identical poverty and attendance profiles. Spending figures date from 2018–19.
