Summary
Williamsburg Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 402 students in Williamsburg, Ohio, east of Cincinnati, and it is one of the state's top-performing elementary schools: ranked 123rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. Its district, Williamsburg Local, sits at the 91st percentile of Ohio districts. That high standing is not a one-year spike — Williamsburg earned 5 stars in 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026 after climbing from 2 stars and the 49th percentile in 2016–2017.
Academically, 2025–2026 results are strong in every reported grade and subject. Fifth-grade science reached 95.5%, math ranged from 81.8% to 93.5%, and English language arts from 74% to 91.1% — all above the corresponding state figures. Chronic absenteeism was 6.8%, far below the 14.4%–28.4% reported by nearby schools. Compared with neighbors, Williamsburg is the clear area leader: Hamersville Elementary School is in the top 28% of state elementary schools and Willowville Elementary School in the top 30%, while Williamsburg is in the top 8%. A few local bright spots exist — Hamersville outscored Williamsburg in 4th grade math and ELA — and 4th grade ELA, at 74.0%, is Williamsburg's lowest 2025–2026 result, though still above the state's 61.8%.
Equity is another strength. Low-income students ranked in the 95th percentile in 2025–2026, and special education students ranked 13th of 900 schools (99th percentile) in 2023–2024. These results are not explained by unusually easy circumstances: about 40.05% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, lower than every nearby school with data, and spending was $7,877 per student in 2018–2019, below most neighbors, with a mid-pack 19.2 student-teacher ratio. Overall, Williamsburg Elementary offers strong math and science outcomes, exceptional attendance, and effective support for student groups that often trail elsewhere, with 4th grade ELA the main area to watch.
