Summary

Sabina Elementary School in Sabina, OH, serves 375 students in grades PK–5 as part of East Clinton Local in a small-town community. In 2025–2026, it ranked 338th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 78th percentile with 4 stars. That is notably stronger than its district’s overall profile: East Clinton Local ranks 399th of 773 districts, in the 48th percentile with 2 stars.

Its current rank is the highest among the nearby ranked elementary schools in the comparison set, ahead of Clinton-Massie Elementary School (76th percentile, 4 stars) and Fairfield Local Elementary School (72nd percentile, 4 stars). It also outranks Miami Trace Elementary School (63rd), New Vienna Elementary School (56th), Greenfield Elementary School (43rd), Belle Aire Intermediate (41st), and Denver Place Elementary School (29th). Within East Clinton Local, the school outranks New Vienna Elementary School, which is in the 56th percentile with 3 stars. The school’s recent history shows a recovery rather than a one-year spike: after dipping to the 46th–48th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, it rose to the 72nd percentile in 2022–2023, 68th in 2023–2024, 72nd in 2024–2025, and 78th in 2025–2026.

Academically, math and science are relative strengths: 4th-grade math is 86.4, 5th-grade math 83.7, and 5th-grade science 79.6, all well above district and state averages and generally ahead of nearby schools. ELA is solid but less dominant—5th-grade ELA is 85.7, trailing Clinton-Massie Elementary School’s 91.0 and Fairfield Local Elementary School’s 86.8. Subgroup performance is exceptional: low-income students rank in the 95th percentile and special education students in the 94th percentile, both above the school’s overall 78th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 25.5% in 2021–2022 to 16.8% in 2025–2026 and is below the district’s 20.3%, though several nearby schools are in the 9–13% range. With a student–teacher ratio of 18.2 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $8,525 in 2018–2019—lower than many nearby schools—the school appears to produce strong outcomes with modest resources. Note that some nearby schools serve different grade spans, so test-score comparisons are most meaningful for PK–5 or K–5 schools.
