Summary

Sardinia Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 274 students in the village of Sardinia, Ohio, part of the Eastern Local School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 512th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 67th percentile, with 3 stars — above the state median but sixth among 11 nearby schools. It trails same-district Russellville Elementary School and Williamsburg Elementary School, Lynchburg-Clay Elementary School, Hamersville Elementary School and Hillsboro Intermediate School, while outperforming Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School, North Adams Elementary School and others. The trend is positive: Sardinia was at the 47th–48th percentile with 2 stars in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018, then rose into the 65th–82nd percentile range from 2020–2021 on, peaking at the 82nd percentile in 2021–2022.

Test results in 2025–2026 were mostly strong: Math 3 83.0%, ELA 3 80.9%, Math 4 82.1%, ELA 4 78.6% and Science 5 74.4%, all well above state averages. Grade 5 was the exception: math at 55.8% and ELA at 65.1% fell below state and well below district, and grade 5 math was the lowest among nearby schools with comparable results. Since grades 3 and 4 stayed strong and 2024–2025 grade 5 results were stronger, this looks like a cohort-specific dip rather than a broad decline.

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 9.0% in 2025–2026, below the district's 11.5% and lower than Russellville Elementary School's 12.6%, even though Sardinia serves more students from low-income families (58.39% free/reduced lunch vs. 47.46%). That is a big improvement from 17.1% in 2021–2022. The school is also unusually effective for low-income students, whose subgroup rank was 78th, 85th and 74th percentile with 4 stars over the past three years — above the school's own overall ranking each year. Headwinds remain: its 19.5 student-teacher ratio is higher than most nearby schools, and current disabled-student data (2017–2018) is too old to judge.
