Summary
John E Gregg Elementary School is a PK–6 school in the small village of Bergholz, Ohio, serving 377 students as part of the Edison Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 481st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 69th percentile, with 3 stars — while the district ranked 283rd of 773 districts (63rd percentile, 3 stars). That is still above most Ohio schools, but it marks a step down from a strong run: the school earned 4 stars every year from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025 and peaked at the 81st percentile in 2024–2025.
Academically, the school scored above the Ohio state average in 8 of 9 tested subjects and grades, and above the Edison Local average in 6 of 9. Math is above state levels in every tested grade, science is above both district and state, and fifth-grade ELA is a standout at 85.1%. The clearest concern is sixth-grade ELA at 44.2%, which trails both the district (50.5%) and the state (56.0%); fourth-grade ELA also falls below the district average though still above the state. Compared with its closest same-district peer, Stanton Elementary School (408 students, about 10.7 miles away), John E Gregg ranks slightly higher and has a clear attendance edge, with lower free/reduced lunch rates (47.75% vs. 58.09%) — but the test-score comparison is mixed, with Stanton ahead in fifth-grade math and fourth- and sixth-grade ELA. Conotton Valley Elementary is a nearby benchmark that ranks higher (73rd percentile, 4 stars) and has very low absenteeism, though John E Gregg is stronger in math across grades.
Attendance is this school's standout strength: 8.0% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, far below the district's 14.7% and lower than nearly every nearby school. Among student groups, low-income students performed at the 74th percentile (4 stars), a positive sign, while special education students swung from 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2024–2025 to 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026 — a change worth watching, though small group sizes make it hard to read. Overall, this is a solid, above-state-average school whose main priorities are sixth-grade ELA and monitoring special education results.
