Summary

Maplewood Elementary School is a 346-student school serving grades 3 and 4 on Wonderlick Road in Lima, Ohio, part of the Shawnee Local district, and it currently ranks 637th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 59th percentile, or 3 stars — while its district is rated higher, at 202nd of 773 districts (74th percentile, 4 stars). One structural detail shapes everything else: Maplewood Elementary School is effectively the district's only state-tested elementary building, because its K–2 feeder, Elmwood Elementary School, reports no test scores. That is why Maplewood's proficiency rates track the district's almost exactly (grade-3 ELA 76.3% at the school vs. 76.4% district-wide) — school-versus-district test comparisons here are not independent measurements.

Attendance is the standout strength. Chronic absenteeism is 6.9%, about half the district rate of 13.5% and roughly half or less of every nearby school, and it has improved every year for four years (15.2% in 2021-22 → 6.9% now). Academically, Maplewood still beats the state in all four tested areas, but the margin has collapsed: grade-4 ELA went from 20.5 points above state in 2022-23 to 2.3 points above, and grade-4 math from 25 points above to 6.2. Grade-3 English language arts is the bright spot, improving from 68.6% to 76.3%, while both math grades and grade-4 ELA declined. Statewide, the school has slipped from the 94th percentile to the 59th.

The school's biggest risk is a widening internal gap: students from low-income families ranked at the 76th percentile two years ago — level with the school overall — and now sit at the 30th, a roughly 29-point gap. The poverty rate has climbed quickly, from 29.79% to 43.35% in two years. Compared with neighbors, Maplewood clearly outperforms Lima City's Independence Elementary School, Unity Elementary School, Heritage Elementary School and Freedom Elementary School in both proficiency and attendance while serving a less disadvantaged population. The closest academic peers are the two Lima City magnets, Lima South Science-Technology Magnet K-8 (63rd percentile) and Liberty Arts Magnet K-8 (40th), which post strong individual grade results despite being much smaller buildings. Elida Elementary matches Maplewood almost exactly in grade-4 math (73.3% vs. 73.5%) but trails badly in grade-4 ELA (50.6% vs. 64.1%).
