Summary

North Elementary School is a K–5 school in the Madison Local district in Madison, OH, serving 572 students and ranked 693 out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 56th percentile with 3 stars.

In 2025–2026, the school is a mid-to-upper-mid performer statewide. Its district, Madison Local, ranked in the 57th percentile. Its results vary by grade: Grade 5 is a strength, with Science (79.2), Math (81.4), and ELA (77.3) all above state averages. But Grade 3 Math (55.1) and Grade 3/4 ELA (58.9 and 58.8) are below state, and these early-grade weaknesses pull down its overall rank. Compared with nearby schools, it is above lower-performing schools like Maple Elementary School, Elm Street Elementary School, Mckinley Elementary School, and Geneva Platt R. Spencer Elementary School, but trails higher performers like Perry Elementary School, South Elementary School, and Riverview Elementary School. The closest comparison is South Elementary School, which shares the district and similar spending/class size but ranks higher (66th percentile) and scores higher, especially in Grade 4 ELA (73.6 vs. 58.8). The school, however, serves a higher-poverty population (58.92% free/reduced lunch) than South Elementary School (42.29%) and Perry Elementary School (29.37%).

One major positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 30.9% in 2021–2022 to 13.5% in 2025–2026, now below the district rate and most nearby schools. Resources are mid-level: per-student spending was $9,085 in 2018–2019, and the student–teacher ratio improved to 18.4. Subgroup results are uneven; special education students improved to the 64th percentile in 2025–2026, and low-income students ranked near the school overall at 59th percentile. The main improvement opportunity is early-grade reading and Grade 3 math. It is a 3-star school with strong Grade 5 outcomes and much better attendance, but it still has clear room to grow in early literacy and math.
