Summary

Lynchburg-Clay Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Lynchburg, Ohio, serving about 471 students as part of the Lynchburg-Clay Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 385th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 75th percentile with 4 stars — while its district placed at the 66th percentile with 3 stars, suggesting the elementary school is a relatively strong performer within its own district. The school has generally held 4-star standing over the past decade, peaking at the 89th percentile in 2018–2019, dipping to the 70th percentile in 2023–2024, and recovering since.

Test scores are the school's clearest selling point. In 2025–2026, students beat the state in six of seven tested areas, with standout results in 5th-grade science (82.6% proficient vs. 62.7% statewide), 5th-grade math (79.7% vs. 59.1%), 4th-grade ELA (81.9% vs. 61.8%) and 5th-grade ELA (85.7% vs. 70.4%). Those same scores lead every nearby school with comparable data, including Hillsboro Intermediate School, Sardinia Elementary School, New Vienna Elementary School, Bright Elementary School, Mt Orab Primary Elementary School, Clermont Northeastern Elementary School and Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School. The exception is 3rd-grade math at 59.3%, below the state's 62.1% and lower than every nearby school — a big swing from 86.3% the year before, suggesting it may be cohort-specific.

The school also serves its lower-income students exceptionally well: the low-SES subgroup reached the 93rd percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 78th percentile two years earlier, even as its free/reduced-lunch rate rose to 52.87%. Special education students ranked at the 82nd percentile. It has the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 14.2, with per-student spending of $8,769 (2018–2019) that is lower than most peers. Chronic absenteeism was 15.5%, slightly above the district's 14.9% — a watch item rather than a defining weakness.
