Summary

Northmor Elementary School in Galion, OH, is a PK–6 school serving 541 students in the Northmor Local district. In 2025–26, it ranked 587th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), a solid statewide position but below its district’s 75th-percentile, 4-star standing. The school’s rank has improved from a recent peak of 428th in 2022–23 (73rd percentile) after dipping to 652nd in 2023–24 and 638th in 2024–25.

Northmor’s clearest strength is upper-elementary achievement. Grade 5 ELA proficiency was 86.4% versus Ohio’s 70.4%, essentially matching Stingel Elementary School; grade 6 math was 72.0% versus 56.2% statewide; and grade 5 science was 68.2% versus 62.7%. Grade 6 ELA also beat the state. Early and intermediate grades are more mixed: grade 4 math was 64.9%, below Ohio’s 67.3% and below Stingel Elementary School, Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5, and Park Avenue Elementary School. Grade 3 math and ELA were near state averages but below Central Elementary School and Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5.

Attendance has improved substantially, from 21.9% chronically absent in 2021–22 to 13.8% in 2025–26, now below the district’s 17.9% and better than Park Avenue Elementary School (15.4%) and Galion Primary Elementary School (19.0%). Still, Stingel Elementary School (5.8%) and Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5 (5.6%) have much lower rates. Subgroup results are uneven: female students rank in the 72nd percentile, male students 54th, special education students 32nd, and low-income students 49th, down from 68th two years earlier. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate jumped to 85.03% in 2024–25, likely a reporting change. Its student-teacher ratio improved to 15.4, better than several neighbors, while 2018–19 per-student spending was $8,052. Overall, Northmor Elementary School is a solid above-average school with strong upper grades, improving attendance, and room to grow in early math and subgroup support.
