Summary

Grover Hill Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 217 students in the small village of Grover Hill in rural northwest Ohio, part of the Wayne Trace Local district. It is a consistently strong performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 306th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 80th percentile with a 4-star rating, and it has earned 4 stars every year in the available history. That outranks its own district, which sits in the 74th percentile. After slipping to the 73rd–74th percentile in 2020–2022, the school has rebounded to near its historical best.

Test scores are a clear strength. Math proficiency averages 84.3% in grades 3–6, about 23 points above the state average, and ELA averages 74.5%, roughly 12 points above the state. Science (5th grade) is 75.7%, also above the district and state. Compared with nearby schools, Grover Hill outperforms Van Wert Elementary School, Paulding Elementary School, and Lincolnview Elementary School, but trails Crestview Elementary School, Continental Local Elementary School, and Fort Jennings Elementary School slightly, and sits well behind the area's top performers, Ottoville Elementary School and Oakwood Elementary School, both 5-star schools. Math is the standout, ELA varies more by grade, and science has declined from 97.3% in 2022–2023 to 75.7% — still above average, but worth watching.

What may matter most to families is how well the school serves students from low-income backgrounds. About 61.75% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, up from 46.22% in 2022–2023, yet the school's low-income students rank in the 88th percentile statewide — higher than the school's overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 13.9% in 2022–2023 to 6.3% in 2025–2026, now below the district's 9.9%, and the student–teacher ratio improved to 13.5 from 17.3. Overall, this is a small, stable, high-performing school that gets strong results for a high-poverty population, with room to close the gap with the very best nearby schools.
