Summary
Trimble Elementary School is a K–6 school in Glouster, Ohio, in the Trimble Local district, serving 333 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,258th of 1,560 Ohio schools (19th percentile, 1 star), while Trimble Local ranked 686th of 773 districts (11th percentile, 1 star). The school has remained in the bottom quartile for a decade, with statewide percentiles between 19 and 29 and a 1-star rating every year shown. Chronic absenteeism was 31.4% in 2025–2026, up from 24.8% in 2023–2024; that is higher than every nearby school listed, though lower than the district’s 36.4% average.
Proficiency rates were below Ohio averages in every reported subject and grade. The largest gaps were in Math 4 (25 vs. 67.3 state), ELA 5 (40.6 vs. 70.4), ELA 4 (32.7 vs. 61.8), and Science 5 (34.4 vs. 62.7). Compared with nearby schools, the school is usually at or near the bottom: in Math 4, its 25 was lower than Millcreek Elementary School (35.4), Amesville Elementary School (44.4), South Elementary School (68.8), West Elementary School (80.6), Green Elementary School (87), Union Furnace Elementary School (87.9), and Southeast Ohio Classical Academy (89.5). The contrast with Logan-Hocking Local schools is striking: Green Elementary School and Union Furnace Elementary School are 4–5 star schools with proficiency often in the 70–90% range and much lower absenteeism.
Results for student groups are also low: female students at the 17th percentile, male students at the 20th, special education students at the 17th, and low-income students at the 21st; low-income effectiveness fell from the 33rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 21st in 2025–2026. Resources do not appear to be the obvious limiting factor. The student–teacher ratio was 13.3 in 2024–2025, mid-range among nearby schools, and per-student spending was $11,199 in 2018–2019, higher than most nearby schools listed. Still, the school’s outcomes remain low, suggesting its challenges are broad and not simply a matter of class size or spending.
