Summary

Grand Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Orwell, Ohio, serving 318 students in grades K-4 and part of the Grand Valley Local School District. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, including high chronic absenteeism rates and uneven academic performance on state assessments.

One key issue is Grand Valley Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 18.6% to 27.7% in recent years - significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary (13.4%) and A.J. Jordak Elementary (18.9%). The school's academic performance has also been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average, while others struggle, such as 3rd grade math proficiency at 59.7% compared to the state's 64.4%.

Another factor is the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.21% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch - much higher than nearby schools like Bristol Elementary (59.18%) and Maplewood Elementary (41.47%). The school's overall ranking has also declined in recent years, from 356th out of 1,678 Ohio elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 815th out of 1,558 in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
