Summary

Adena Elementary School is a grades 3–6 school in West Chester, Ohio, a Cincinnati-area suburb, serving 690 students in Lakota Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 563rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 64th percentile, with 3 stars — below its own district's 78th percentile and 4-star rating. Adena was once a top 10–12% school in the mid-2010s and has since settled into the mid-60s percentile range, holding fairly steady over the last three years.

Test results vary a lot by grade. Fifth grade is the standout: proficiency reached 87.1% in English language arts, 82.1% in mathematics, and 82.2% in science, all above both district and state averages. Third and sixth grades trail the district by the widest margins — about 13 points below in 3rd grade math and ELA, and 18.5 points below in 6th grade math. Fourth grade also lands below district averages. Across nine tests, Adena averages roughly 70.6% proficiency, versus about 77.5% districtwide and 62.1% statewide. Among same-district peers, Union Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School rank higher, while Freedom Elementary School is slightly ahead.

Chronic absenteeism has improved to 11.9%, better than the district's 15.5% and roughly half its 2021–2022 level, though Union Elementary School (9.9%) and Freedom Elementary School (9.4%) do even better. About 46.67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — more than those peers — and Adena's student-teacher ratio of 24.2 is the highest among nearby Lakota elementaries and well above Mason Intermediate Elementary School's 20.2. Low-income students rank in the 39th percentile (2 stars), a persistent gap. Overall, Adena is a mid-performing school in a strong district: solid 5th grade results, improving attendance, and clear room to grow elsewhere.
