Summary

Hamersville Elementary School is a K–8 school of 556 students in Hamersville, Ohio (Brown County), part of the Western Brown Local district, and it is the largest grade-span school in its nearby comparison group because nearby schools end at grades 5 or 6.

Hamersville is a top-third Ohio school: it ranked 434th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, well above its own district’s 344th of 773 (55th percentile, 3 stars). The school climbed from 995th in 2016–17 to 4-star stability, and it ranks third among ten nearby schools, behind Williamsburg Elementary School (92nd percentile) and Russellville Elementary School (89th), while sitting 18 percentile points above Mt Orab Primary Elementary School (54th). It does this with a high poverty rate (64.75% free/reduced lunch) and below-average spending ($8,167 per student), plus the region’s lowest student-to-teacher ratio (16.2). Notably, its low-income students (82nd percentile) and special education students (83rd percentile) rank above the school overall (72nd), a strong equity signal.

Grade-level results show an outstanding early/middle-grades engine: 4th math is 95.7% proficient versus 67.3% statewide and 79.2% in the district, 6th math is 78.7%, and Algebra I is 85.7% versus 61.6% statewide. The clear challenge is grades 7–8: 8th math is 39.0% (state 52.0%, district 48.8%) and 8th ELA is 51.6% (state 58.3%, district 65.9%). Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 38.4% to 17.4%, but remains higher than eight of ten nearby schools; Williamsburg is at 6.8%. Overall, Hamersville is effective with the students it serves, especially in grades 3–6 and accelerated math, with middle-school academics and attendance as the next gaps to close.
