Summary

Pymatuning Valley Primary Elementary School is a rural PK–4 school in Andover, Ohio (Ashtabula County) serving 459 students — the second-largest enrollment among the eight nearby schools compared here — and it is the elementary building for the Pymatuning Valley Local School District.

Its clearest strength is math. In 2025–2026, 4th-grade math proficiency was 86.7% — 19.4 points above the state and third-best of the eight schools, behind only Austinburg Elementary School (93.3%) and Maplewood Elementary School (90.7%). Third-grade math was 71.4%, also above the state, and 4th-grade math has topped 81% in each of the last four reported years. Attendance has improved dramatically as well: chronic absenteeism fell from 39.0% in 2021–2022 to 16.8% in 2025–2026, now nearly 10 points better than the district's rate and third-lowest among the nearby schools. Staffing improved too, with the student–teacher ratio dropping from 25.3 to 19.1 over two years.

Reading is the problem. Third-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 52.3% — the lowest of all eight schools and 11.1 points below the state — while 4th grade was 54.7%, second-lowest and 7.1 points below the state. Both grades have declined two years running, and the school's overall standing slipped from a 70th-percentile, 4-star peak in 2023–2024 to 49th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026. The 2025–2026 declines touched nearly every measured subgroup, though the low-income group continues to perform above the school as a whole. Note that recent free/reduced-lunch data is suppressed for this school, the available spending figure dates to 2018–2019, and no current gifted-and-talented data is reported.
