Summary

Conotton Valley Elementary is a PK–5 school in Bowerston, Ohio, serving 291 students in the Conotton Valley Union Local district, and it has climbed from the bottom third of Ohio elementary schools to the top quartile. In 2016–17 it ranked in the 28th percentile with 1 star; by 2025–26 it reached the 73rd percentile with 4 stars. The rise has been steady rather than sudden: 34th percentile in 2021–22, 55th in 2022–23, 67th in 2023–24, 72nd in 2024–25, and 73rd in 2025–26. The district itself ranks 196th of 773 Ohio districts, or 75th percentile with 4 stars.

In 2025–26 the school scored above the state average in every reported grade and subject. Fifth-grade science stood out at 90.7% proficient versus Ohio's 62.7%, and it has stayed between 83.3% and 91.7% over the last four reported years. Fourth- and fifth-grade English language arts both reached 88.4%, well above the state's 61.8% and 70.4%. Math was above state in every reported grade (66.0% in 3rd, 78.6% in 4th, 62.8% in 5th), though nearby Midvale Elementary School and Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School still outscored Conotton in several math grades — the clearest relative area to watch. Conotton's 4th-grade ELA was far higher than Tuscarawas Valley's 56.3% and Midvale's 59.2%.

Attendance is one of the school's biggest strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 3.5% in 2025–26 — below the district's 7.0% and lower than every nearby school listed, several of which sit in the 10–20% range. The drop from 14.3% in 2022–23 is striking, and the school has beaten its district's rate in each recent year. Economic need is real and rising, with 53.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, yet the school's low-income student subgroup ranked in the 81st percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, a strong effectiveness signal. Subgroup results are not uniform: male students ranked 74th percentile while female students ranked 67th.

Monday, September 28, 2026

Extremely disappointed with this school district. They are quick to demand accountability from students, but are unwilling to hold themselves accountable when questioned about their own decisions. Written policies and procedures should be followed consistently—not changed or supplemented simply because an administrator feels an additional punishment is warranted, especially for a first warning. Policies are in place for a reason. The lack of accountability and willingness to reflect on their own decisions is extremely concerning. Adults should be setting the example they expect from the students. Close Quote
