Summary

Vincent Elementary School is a K–4 school in Lorain, Ohio, serving 456 students as part of the Clearview Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,096th of 1,560 Ohio schools (30th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranked 634th of 773 (18th percentile, 1 star). Its statewide standing has been fairly stable for a decade, hovering between the 27th and 39th percentiles.

Academically, results are below the state average, with one clear bright spot: 3rd grade English language arts, where 63.3% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, essentially matching the state's 63.4%. Math and 4th grade ELA lag well behind — 4th grade math at 46.3% versus 67.3% statewide, and 4th grade ELA at 45.0% versus 61.8%. Compared with neighbors, Vincent outperforms lower-ranked Lorain City schools such as Garfield Elementary School and Palm Elementary School, but trails Northwood Elementary School and Sheffield Academy in several key areas, especially 4th grade math and ELA.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 41.3% in 2021–2022 to 31.1% in 2025–2026, now well below the district's 41.4%, though about 3 in 10 students remain chronically absent and Northwood Elementary School, Ely Elementary School, and Westwood Elementary School have lower rates. Vincent spends less per pupil ($7,095 in 2018–2019) than most nearby schools yet posts stronger results than several higher-spending ones. Results for different student groups vary widely — special education students reached the 55th percentile in 2024–2025, for example — so the overall ranking does not describe every student's experience equally.
