Summary

Adamsville Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 255 students in Adamsville, Ohio — a rural community in the Muskingum County area, and the smallest of the four elementaries in Tri-Valley Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 438th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools: the 72nd percentile, or 4 stars, its best showing in the ten years of rank history available and a sharp climb from the 48th percentile two years earlier.

Fifth grade is where this school shines. Its 5th graders outscored every other elementary in the comparison area in all three tested subjects — 100% in science, 96.7% in math, and 90% in English language arts — beating the state and neighboring Nashport Elementary School. Science is a multi-year signature strength, running from the mid-80s to 100% while the state sits in the low 60s. Attendance has improved just as clearly: chronic absenteeism fell from 20.6% to 11.4% over four years, better than the district's 12.5% and far better than the Zanesville City elementaries (21–29%).

Results are uneven by grade rather than by subject. Grades 4 and 5 perform at or near the top of the region, while 3rd grade ELA came in at 64% against the district's 81.5%, and 6th grade has been the weak spot for four straight years (ELA 54.8%, math 58.1%). Subgroup results split too: students from low-income families rank in the 83rd percentile (4 stars) and male students in the 84th, while female students sit at the 49th percentile and special education students at the 39th — the weakest measure on file, based on a single year. Because Adamsville is small (roughly 30–40 children per grade), any one year's number swings easily, so multi-year patterns are more trustworthy. Overall, this high-poverty rural school has moved from the bottom of its district to third of four, closing much of the gap to Nashport Elementary School and now ranking ahead of Dresden Elementary School.
