Summary
South Range Elementary School is a PK–4 public school in Canfield, OH, serving 473 students in the South Range Local district. It is a consistently top-tier Ohio elementary school: in 2025–2026 it ranked 36th of 1,560 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), and in 2024–2025 it ranked 17th of 1,558 (99th percentile, 5 stars). The district itself is rated 55th of 773 Ohio districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars), but the elementary school has performed at an even higher statewide level.
Test scores are exceptionally strong and broad. In 2025–2026, 93.6% of third graders were proficient in math (state: 62.1%), 98.9% of fourth graders in math (state: 67.3%), 88.3% in third-grade English language arts (state: 63.4%), and 91.5% in fourth-grade ELA (state: 61.8%). Compared with nearby schools, it is highest in Math 3, Math 4, and ELA 4, and tied for highest in ELA 3 with West Boulevard Elementary School. The closest local peer, C H Campbell Elementary School, still trails it by 4.8 to 9.0 percentage points in 2025–2026, while Hilltop Elementary School trails more clearly. Subgroup results are also unusually strong: special education students ranked 6th of 914, and low-income students ranked 22nd of 1,467 in 2025–2026, both 5-star, 99th-percentile results.
Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 6.4% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 8.5% and lower than every nearby school listed. Poverty indicators have risen—free/reduced lunch eligibility went from 17.49% in 2022–2023 to 27.7% in 2024–2025—yet proficiency stayed extremely high. Resources do not suggest an obvious advantage: 2018–2019 per-student spending was $8,174, and the 2024–2025 student/teacher ratio was 19.2. Caveats: some nearby schools serve different grade spans, some free/reduced lunch data were unavailable, and the spending figure is older. Overall, South Range Elementary School is an elite, consistently high-achieving school with strong subgroup results and low absenteeism.
