of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Bell Creek Intermediate School in Bellbrook, Ohio, serves 682 students in grades 3–5 and is the only intermediate building in the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local district; its K–2 neighbor, Stephen Bell Elementary School, is 1.5 miles away. It is a consistent top-decile performer: in 2025-2026 it ranked 115th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and it has never fallen below the 85th percentile in ten reporting years, earning 5 stars in seven of them. Its district ranks 32nd of 773 Ohio districts.

Test scores sit well above state benchmarks: proficiency ranged from 81.2% to 100% in 2025-2026, against state rates of 56.2% to 70.4%, with the largest gap in 5th-grade math — 30.8 points above the state. Bell Creek outranks every nearby school, including Prass Elementary School (87th percentile), Fairbrook Elementary School (86th), Main Elementary School (82nd), Indian Riffle Elementary School (81st), Stingley Elementary School (72nd), and Valley Elementary School and J F Kennedy Elementary School (68th). It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group — 4.2%, versus 5.7% to 14.5% elsewhere and 6.6% districtwide — while spending the least per student ($10,222 in 2018-19, the only year reported) and running the largest classes (22.2 students per teacher).

What stands out is consistency: Bell Creek's lowest 2025-2026 score (81.2%) is higher than most peers' best. Other schools pair one strong result with a soft one, but Bell Creek is solid across every grade and subject. It also performs well across student groups, including low-income students (81st percentile statewide — its lowest major group but rising from 77th). Free/reduced lunch participation nearly doubled over two years (11.46% to 20.67%) while scores and attendance improved. Watch items: 4th-grade ELA (81.9%, its lowest result), a three-year slide in 5th-grade science (86.8% to 81.2%), and the low-income group. A reported 6th-grade math score of 100% likely reflects a small accelerated cohort.
