Summary

Flat Ridge Elementary School is a small K–4 school in rural Charm, Ohio, serving 92 students in the East Holmes Local district, a district ranked in the 89th percentile statewide. Flat Ridge ranked 356th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (77th percentile, 4 stars), with mostly 4-star results recently. Math is its relative strength: 3rd grade math was 84.2% proficient vs 80.6% district and 62.1% state; 4th grade math was 94.7% vs 84.2% district and 67.3% state, after 100% in 2024–2025. ELA is weaker: 3rd grade ELA was 73.7% vs 80.6% district, and 4th grade ELA was 68.4% vs 75.3% district. Flat Ridge’s ELA trails top nearby schools such as Chestnut Ridge Elementary School and Walnut Creek Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 18.9% in 2021–2022 to 6.3% in 2024–2025 and 8.1% in 2025–2026, now below the district’s 10.5% but above Chestnut Ridge (4.2%), Walnut Creek (3.8%), Berlin (6.7%), and Mt Hope (6.4%); Winesburg is at 27.9%. Flat Ridge serves a relatively affluent population: free/reduced lunch was 10.87% in 2024–2025, near Mt Hope (10.2%) and far below Berlin (20.48%), Chestnut Ridge (21.66%), Walnut Creek (16.2%), Killbuck (56.56%), Baltic (50.36%), and Millersburg (46.26%). Spending was $10,459 per student in 2018–2019, near the top locally, but the student-teacher ratio rose to 17.1 in 2024–2025 from 14.3.

English Language Learner students are a standout: 95th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, 94th in 2024–2025, and 90th in 2023–2024. The school’s overall rank is higher than some student-group results, suggesting internal gaps to address even as ELL students are served exceptionally well. With only 92 students in K–4, individual grade cohorts are tiny, so one student can shift a proficiency rate by several points and year-to-year changes can look larger than they are. Overall, Flat Ridge is a small, well-resourced, low-poverty school in a strong district; math is its clearest strength, absenteeism has improved, ELL results are outstanding, and ELA—especially 3rd grade—is the main academic challenge.
