Summary

Preble Shawnee Elementary School in Camden, Ohio, is the only elementary building in the rural Preble Shawnee Local district, serving 471 students in grades PK–4. Statewide it ranks 982 of 1,560 elementary schools — the 37th percentile, with a 2-star rating — which is above its own district's standing of 29th percentile among Ohio districts, and a big step up from the 11th percentile the school held two decades ago.

The standout strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 8.8%, the lowest of any nearby school and far below the next closest, William Bruce Elementary School at 12.2%, and down from 25.6% in 2021-22 — a roughly 17-point drop that happened while the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch climbed about 10 points to 56.48%, the highest in the comparison group. Fourth-grade math is also a reliable bright spot: 68.4% proficient versus the state's 67.3%, and above the state in each of the last four years. That's a solid result for a school educating the highest-need student body in its neighborhood set, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 16.2.

Third grade is the pressure point. Third-grade math sits at 51.1% versus the state's 62.1%, the gap having widened from about 2 points to about 11 over four years, and third-grade reading is at 56.8% versus 63.4%. Both feed the fourth-grade pipeline the school depends on. Special education is the weakest measured area in the profile — 9th percentile with 0 stars, down from the mid-teens the two prior years. Note that spending figures date to 2018-19, and comparisons to other schools use different pools of schools, so treat them as signals rather than exact rankings.
