Summary

Shenandoah Elementary School in Sarahsville, OH, is a large rural public PK–8 school serving 809 students in the Noble Local district, making it the biggest school in this nearby comparison group.

Academically, Shenandoah is in the upper-middle tier of Ohio schools: in 2025–2026 it ranked 515th out of 1,560 schools, the 67th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 39th percentile in 2016–2017. Its district, Noble Local, ranked 352nd of 773 districts, the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Shenandoah’s strongest results are early math, middle-grade science, and Algebra I: 3rd-grade math was 84.2% proficient and 4th-grade math 84.1%, both far above state; 8th-grade science was 79.4% versus 61.2% statewide; Algebra I was 100% proficient. The clearest weak spot is 7th-grade math at 41.4% proficient, below Ohio’s 48.6%. Nearby, Salem-Liberty Elementary School is the standout at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars but has only 78 students; Barnesville Elementary School is at the 70th percentile and Lowell Elementary School at the 69th. Shenandoah (67th) is ahead of Woodsfield Elementary School and Skyvue Elementary School (both 51st), Caldwell Elementary School (48th), Buckeye Trail Elementary (40th), Meadowbrook Elementary School (29th), and Cambridge Intermediate School (27th).

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 9.0% in 2025–2026, down from 24.8% in 2021–2022, better than the district’s 10.1% and most nearby schools except Salem-Liberty (6.8%) and Lowell (7.0%). The school also appears relatively effective with low-income students, who ranked in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, and special education students improved to the 69th percentile in 2024–2025. About 76.51% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Resource data show the highest per-student spending among nearby schools—$15,024 in 2018–2019, though not current—but a high student-teacher ratio of 20.3 in 2024–2025, second only to Meadowbrook Elementary School. For direct PK–8 comparisons, look to Caldwell Elementary School, Skyvue Elementary School, and Woodsfield Elementary School; Shenandoah generally outperforms them academically and has lower absenteeism, except in 7th-grade math.
