Summary

Mt Orab Primary Elementary School is a K–4 school in Mount Orab, Ohio, serving 683 students as part of the Western Brown Local district, making it one of the larger elementary schools in its local comparison group. The district ranks 344 of 773 in Ohio (55th percentile, 3 stars). The school itself ranks 721 of 1,560 for 2025–2026, placing it at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. That is a big change from 2015–2016, when it sat at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, but progress has flattened: it has stayed around the 50th–54th percentile with 3 stars since 2023–2024.

Academically, the picture is split. Third-grade math (70.4%) and third-grade ELA (69.1%) are above the state (62.1% and 63.4%) and near the district. Fourth-grade math (70.8%) is above the state (67.3%) but well below the district (79.2%). Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest weak spot: 59.9%, below both the district's 71.0% and the state's 61.8%, and below the state in each of the four years reported. Nearby Hamersville Elementary School, in the same district, ranks at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars and posted 95.7% in 4th grade math and 92.9% in 4th grade ELA. That gap is real, but the schools serve somewhat different populations: Mt Orab's free/reduced lunch rate is 70.13% versus Hamersville's 64.75%, while Mt Orab's chronic absenteeism is lower (15.7% vs. 17.4%).

Mt Orab has the highest reported free/reduced lunch rate among nearby schools, and its low-income subgroup ranks at the 61st percentile — above the school's overall rank — suggesting it does comparatively well with economically disadvantaged students. Its special education subgroup, however, dropped to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026 from the 54th and 58th percentiles the two years before. Chronic absenteeism, at 15.7%, beats the district's 17.0% and is down from 24.8% in 2021–2022, though Williamsburg Elementary School, Sardinia, and Georgetown all sit under 11%. The student-teacher ratio improved to 17.5 from 19.6 in 2022–2023, putting it mid-range locally. Overall, this is a middle-of-the-pack school with real strengths in 3rd grade and math, and clear room to grow in 4th grade reading.
