Summary

Patrick Henry Elementary School in Hamler, Ohio, is a PK–4 school serving 333 students in the Patrick Henry Local district, located in a small rural community in northwest Ohio. In 2025–2026 it ranked 228th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 85th percentile with 4 stars — and its district ranked 129th of 773 with 4 stars. The school has been a strong performer for most of the past decade, moving from 3 stars and the 70th percentile in 2016–2017 to a peak of 5 stars and the 90th percentile in 2020–2021, before settling at the 85th percentile in 2025–2026.

Test scores are consistently above state averages. The signature strength is 4th grade math: 98.1% proficient in 2025–2026 (state: 67.3%), the highest among nearby schools, narrowly above Glandorf Elementary School at 98.0% and Miller City Elementary School at 95.7%, with the prior three years also in the 93–95% range. Third grade math is the soft spot: 76.1% proficient, still above the state's 62.1% but down from 92.7% the year before and behind Continental Local Elementary School (90.6%), Ayersville Elementary School (90.3%), Leipsic Elementary School (88.5%) and Holgate Elementary School (85.2%). English language arts is steady and above state in both tested grades, generally mid-pack locally.

Subgroup results are a standout: low-income students ranked in the 93rd–95th percentile statewide with 5 stars across three recent years, and special education students ranked in the 99th percentile in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 18.0% in 2021–2022 to 8.9% in 2025–2026, and is below the district rate — but it is higher than every nearby school listed, including McComb Local Elementary School (7.1%) and Ottawa Elementary School (5.3%), making attendance the clearest local gap. The student–teacher ratio rose to 15.8 in 2024–2025 from 12.8, which is worth monitoring. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported here, so treat it as unknown rather than as a weakness. Overall, this is a solid regional performer that appears especially effective for low-income and special education students.
