Summary

Waterville Primary School is a K–4 elementary school serving 468 students in Waterville, Ohio, part of the Anthony Wayne Local district in the Wood County area. It has never earned fewer than 5 stars in the years available and ranks 37th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-26 — the 98th percentile — inside a district that ranks 22nd of 773 statewide.

Its test scores sit roughly 27 to 33 points above state averages across grades 3 and 4 math and English language arts. By local standards, Waterville is the third of three Anthony Wayne elementaries in 2025-26, behind Whitehouse Primary School and Monclova Elementary School — a reminder that finishing last inside this district still means the top 2% of Ohio. The gap to other nearby districts is much wider: Waterville beats the Perrysburg Exempted Village schools (Frank Elementary School, Toth Elementary School, Fort Meigs Elementary School) by about 7 to 16 points, the Otsego Local and Maumee City schools by 10 to 30, and the Springfield Local schools by 25 to 40. Grade 4 ELA, at 89.0%, is its lowest 2025-26 result and the clearest gap to close.

Chronic absenteeism fell from 16.3% in 2021-22 to 4.7% in 2025-26, a reduction of about 71%, and Waterville has been below its district every year. Its low-income subgroup ranks 6th of 1,467 schools statewide (100th percentile) in 2025-26, and male students rank 21st of 1,467 (99th percentile). About 15.81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch (2024-25), and its 18.7 student-teacher ratio is the lowest of the three Anthony Wayne elementaries. Per-student spending of $10,115 is from 2018-19 and is historical context only.
