Summary

South Point Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 355 students in South Point, Ohio, in the South Point Local district. The district ranks 484th of 773 in Ohio (37th percentile, 2 stars). The school ranked 746th of 1,560 in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars), slightly above the state median and above its district. Its rank has slipped from the 69th percentile in 2022–2023 to 61st in 2023–2024 and 52nd in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 11.6% in 2025–2026, well below the district’s 18.5%. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.7, and per-student spending was $8,268 in 2018–2019.

Academically, South Point’s results are uneven by grade and subject. Fifth grade is a bright spot: in 2025–2026, ELA was 83.0% and math 75.5%, both well above district and state averages. However, 4th grade math and ELA, 3rd grade ELA, and 5th grade science were below district and/or state levels. Subgroup effectiveness is mixed. Low-socioeconomic-status students rank exceptionally high—73rd percentile in 2025–2026, 82nd in 2024–2025, and 92nd in 2023–2024. Meanwhile, special education students dropped to the 25th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from 62nd percentile in 2022–2023. Female students consistently rank higher than male students.

Attendance is a major strength. South Point’s chronic absenteeism of 11.6% is lower than most nearby schools; only Fairland West (8.9%), Fairland East (9.8%), and Chesapeake (10.4%) are lower, while Burlington (17.2%), Ironton (19.3%), Green (20.5%), Dawson-Bryant (20.8%), Symmes Valley (21.2%), and Rock Hill (29.2%) are higher. Locally, it is mid-pack overall but competitive in 5th grade. It outperforms Ironton (32nd percentile), Green (38th), and Rock Hill (45th), but trails Chesapeake (98th), Dawson-Bryant (81st), Symmes Valley (76th), Fairland West (71st), and Burlington (63rd). Compared with same-district Burlington, it has lower absenteeism and a lower student-teacher ratio, but Burlington ranks higher overall and is stronger in 3rd/4th grade ELA and 4th grade math. Data limitations include blank free/reduced lunch percentages and 2018–2019 spending figures.
