Summary

Katherine Thomas Elementary School is a small public school in Windham, Ohio, serving 196 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Windham Exempted Village district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,097 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 30th percentile, 1 star — while its district ranked 619 of 773 districts (20th percentile, 1 star). The long-term trend has drifted downward, from the 44th percentile in 2016–17 to about the 30th now.

Academically, the school has a split profile. Fourth-grade math is a genuine bright spot: 82.1% proficient in 2024–25 and 71.1% in 2025–26, both above Ohio's 2025–26 average of 67.3%. But 3rd-grade math was 42.9% versus the state's 62.1%, and 3rd-grade ELA was 39.3% versus 63.4% — the lowest among nearby schools. Fourth-grade ELA was 50.0%, below the state's 61.8%. ELA has fallen below the state average every year from 2022–23 through 2025–26, so it is a consistent pattern rather than a one-year dip. Chronic absenteeism is another major challenge: 32.2% in 2025–26, more than double the rates at Lordstown Elementary School (10.6%), Southeast Intermediate Elementary School (12.9%), LaBrae Intermediate School (14.1%), James A Garfield Elementary School (14.8%), and Southington Elementary School (15.3%).

Resources do not obviously explain the results. Per-student spending of $13,016 (2018–19) is near the top of the nearby group, close to Lordstown's $13,440, and the 16.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 is similar to or better than several nearby schools. Nearby schools show what is possible: James A Garfield Elementary, about 4 miles away, ranks in the 61st percentile with 84.3% 3rd-grade ELA, while Lordstown Elementary, roughly 10.5 miles away, ranks in the 88th percentile. Katherine Thomas is above McGuffey Pk-8 School and roughly similar to Newton Falls Middle School, but below Southington, Southeast Intermediate, and LaBrae Intermediate. Because the school is small, single-grade results can swing year to year, though the ELA weakness is steadier. The most data-supported priorities are early literacy, 3rd-grade math, and reducing absenteeism, while sustaining the 4th-grade math gains.
