Summary

Swanton Elementary School serves 424 students in the northwest Ohio village of Swanton, roughly 20 miles southwest of Toledo, and belongs to the Swanton Local district, which ranks 267th of 773 Ohio districts. Its listed grade span is PK–10, though the test results analyzed here cover grades 3 and 4.

Attendance is this school's standout strength. Chronic absenteeism was 9.2% in 2025-26 — the lowest among the nearby schools compared, 14 to 47 points below brick-and-mortar peers such as Reynolds Elementary School (56.7%), and about 6 points better than its own district (15.1%). Test scores are strong too: in 2025-26, third-grade math proficiency was 88.1% versus 62.1% statewide, fourth-grade math 85.9% versus 67.3%, and third-grade English 83.3% versus 63.4%. Math has climbed steadily across four years. Notably, the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch rose from 34.7% to 46.23% while scores reached record highs, suggesting the results are not simply a product of an advantaged student body.

The main soft spot is fourth-grade English language arts, at 62.0% versus a 61.8% state average — the only measure essentially at the state line, and down 9.6 points from 71.6% the year before. Class sizes also run on the larger side, with a 17.5 student-teacher ratio above most brick-and-mortar peers, even though per-student spending ($8,770 in 2018-19) is comparatively generous. Read comparisons with schools like Horizon Science Academy Toledo or Northwest Ohio Classical Academy with care: the nearby schools are mainly alternative, charter, virtual, or special-purpose campuses 10 to 18 miles away in the Toledo area, with different missions and student populations.
