Summary

Fredericktown Elementary School in Fredericktown, Ohio, is a mid-sized rural school serving 535 students in grades K–5 — about 89 per grade — as the elementary campus of the Fredericktown Local district, and it is the largest elementary in its local comparison group apart from Highland Elementary School (836 students). In 2025–2026 it ranked 517th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 231st of 773 Ohio districts (70th percentile, 4 stars). Chronic absenteeism is 10.9%, free/reduced-price lunch is 82.1%, there are 17.8 students per teacher, and per-student spending is $7,582 (2018–19, the most recent figure available).

Academically, the school beat the Ohio average in all seven tested grade and subject combinations in 2025–2026. English/language arts is the engine, running about 14 points above the state on average — 5th-grade ELA reached 87.3% — while math is solid but thinner (about +6) and 5th-grade science is the narrowest margin (+4). What makes those results stand out is the poverty level: 82.1% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, roughly double the rates at nearby Butler Elementary School (44.8%), Bellville Elementary School (40.0%) and Highland Elementary School (32.5%). Attendance is the clearest success: chronic absenteeism fell from 24.5% in 2021–22 to 10.9% in 2025–26, and it has stayed below the district rate every year.

The caution is the trend. After a decade as a 4-star school around the 78th–84th percentile, Fredericktown slipped to 3 stars and the 67th percentile — its lowest mark in ten years and below the peer-group average of about 75 (compared with Wiggin Street Elementary School at 96 and East Elementary School at 93). The dip is concentrated in 4th-grade math and ELA, both of which have declined three years running. Special education students are a genuine strength, improving to the 87th percentile. The school also spends about 14% below its peer average with a higher student-teacher ratio. Whether 2025–26 is a one-year dip or the start of a trend is the key question for next year's data.
