Summary

Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 410 students in Ripley, Ohio, a small community in the southwestern part of the state. It is part of the Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Local district, which ranks 523rd out of 773 Ohio districts (32nd percentile, 2 stars), while the school itself ranks 680th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 (56th percentile, 3 stars) — noticeably stronger than its district. The school has improved a great deal over the past decade: it ranked in the 23rd percentile with 1 star in 2018–19, has earned 3 stars every year since 2020–21, peaked at the 66th percentile in 2022–23, and now sits at the 56th percentile.

Test results show a split between grade levels. Fifth grade is the standout: 81.6% proficient in ELA (state 70.4%), 78.9% in math (state 59.1%), and 76.3% in science (state 62.7%) — near the top of nearby schools, just behind Russellville Elementary School in ELA and Manchester Elementary School in math. Fourth grade math (76.2%) also beat the state (67.3%). Third grade tells the opposite story: ELA proficiency was 49.3% against a state average of 63.4%, lower than every nearby school in the comparison group (67.1%–84.8%), and third grade math fell from 70.0% to 58.0% year over year. Low-income students are a relative strength, ranking in the 78th percentile with 4 stars — well above the school's overall 56th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism was 18.4% in 2025–26, down from 22.7% the prior year and 26.8% in 2021–22, and better than the district's 25.1%. Even so, it is the second-highest among nearby schools, behind only West Union Elementary School (21.3%), and roughly double the rates at North Adams Elementary School (9.1%) and Sardinia Elementary School (9.0%). Class sizes have grown, with the student-teacher ratio rising from 14.7 in 2022–23 to 17.8 in 2024–25. Per-student spending of $10,724 in 2018–19 was the highest among nearby schools, but that figure is too dated to reflect current resources.
