Summary

Russellville Elementary School is a small, rural K–5 school in Russellville, Ohio (Brown County) serving 295 students, and it is one of two elementary schools in the Eastern Local School District. About 47% of its students are economically disadvantaged, and the school spends roughly $9,354 per student. Its most notable feature is a steady, multi-year climb: after sitting in the middle of the pack for years and dipping during the pandemic, Russellville has improved for four straight years and now ranks 170th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 89th percentile, 4 stars, or roughly the top 11% statewide.

That places it well ahead of nearby schools. Russellville ranks 264 positions above the next-best school in its comparison group, Hamersville Elementary School, and 342 positions above its own district sibling, Sardinia Elementary School, which slipped in 2025-26 while Russellville jumped. In 2025-26, Russellville outperformed both its district and the state in all seven reported grade-and-subject combinations, in every case at least 13 points above the state. Notably, the district as a whole ranks only in the 69th percentile, so district-level numbers are a poor stand-in for how this particular school is doing.

The most meaningful finding for families is that Russellville's low-income students — about half the school — have ranked in the 83rd to 90th percentile for three straight years, essentially matching the school's overall standing. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 23.4% to 12.6%, though in 2025-26 the school's rate edged just above its district's for the first time. Russellville also carries the largest classes of any school in its comparison group (20.7 students per teacher, up from 18.5 three years ago) while posting the best results. The open questions: whether a strong 2025-26 science rebound holds, whether growing class sizes eventually bite, and whether attendance is a blip or a trend.
