of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Hinckley Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hinckley, OH, serving 384 students as part of the Highland Local district, which itself ranks #13 of 773 Ohio districts for 2025–2026. Hinckley Elementary is ranked #18 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 99th percentile with 5 stars. That is not a one-year fluke: the school has stayed in the top 1%–2% statewide since 2020–2021, including a #6 statewide rank in 2023–2024, after climbing from around the 80th–94th percentile in the mid-2010s.

Test results are the school's calling card. In 2025–2026, its reported subject-grade proficiency rates range from 91.5% to 97.0%, averaging about 95.6% across seven exams, compared with roughly 92.9% for the district and 63.8% for the state. Hinckley posted the top 2025–2026 score among nearby schools in Science 5, Math 3, Math 4, Math 5, and ELA 3; tied Granger Elementary School in ELA 4; and trailed only Granger in ELA 5 (95.5% versus 97.1%). It beat Crestview Elementary School, the strongest nearby school from another district, in all seven reported exams. Fifth-grade Science and Math both hit 97.0%, far above the district's 86.6% and 92.7%.

Chronic absenteeism sets Hinckley apart: at 3.3% in 2025–2026, it is the lowest among all listed nearby schools and less than half the district's 8.3%. Subgroup results are also strong—special education students ranked in the 98th percentile in 2024–2025, and low-income students rose from the 64th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 96th in 2025–2026. Notably, these results come with an average resource profile: a student-teacher ratio of 19.2 and per-student spending of $10,169 (2018–2019), both mid-pack locally. The one relative soft spot is 4th grade ELA at 91.5%, about 1.4 points below the district but still nearly 30 points above the state.
