Summary

Ridgedale Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 306 students in the village of Morral, Ohio, a small rural community in the Ridgedale Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1004th of 1560 Ohio schools — the 36th percentile, 2 stars — while Ridgedale Local ranked 547th of 773 districts (29th percentile, 1 star). Ridgedale has held a steady 2-star rating for the past decade, with statewide percentiles ranging from 32 to 49 and recent years between 36th and 42nd, so there is no sharp decline, but no sustained upward trend either.

Ridgedale sits in the middle of its local peer group. Nearby Heritage Elementary School leads at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, followed by Pleasant Elementary School (51st percentile, 3 stars) and Elgin Elementary School (47th percentile, 2 stars). Ridgedale (36th percentile, 2 stars) is ahead of the Marion City elementaries (roughly 18th–31st percentile) and the Academy of Arts and Technology (11th percentile), but behind Heritage, Pleasant and Elgin. Test results are uneven by grade: 5th grade ELA (73.2% vs. state 70.4%), 5th grade science (63.4% vs. 62.7%) and 3rd grade math (65.2% vs. 62.1%) are above state averages, while 4th grade math (44.7% vs. 67.3%), 4th grade ELA (38.3% vs. 61.8%), 3rd grade ELA (47.8% vs. 63.4%) and 5th grade math (55.0% vs. 59.1%) are below.

Chronic absenteeism is the strongest positive story: it dropped from 35.9% in 2021–2022 to 12.9% in 2025–2026 — below Ridgedale Local's 18.2% and below Pleasant (17.7%), Elgin (18.7%), the Marion City elementaries (22.2%–33.6%) and the Academy (46.2%). Only Heritage is lower, at 7.2%. About 61.44% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, similar to Elgin (61.22%) and well above Pleasant (44.17%). Per-student spending was $10,101 in 2018–2019, the highest among these schools, with a 14.4 student-teacher ratio, yet results still trail lower-spending peers. Within the school, low-income students ranked at the 34th percentile in 2025–2026, close to the overall school figure, while special education students ranked 20th in 2022–2023.
