Summary

Fort Jennings Elementary School is a small, rural K–5 school in Fort Jennings, Ohio, serving about 148 students across six grade levels — roughly 25 children per grade — as the elementary school of the Jennings Local district.

In 2025–2026 the school ranked 304th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), marking three consecutive years of improvement — from the 64th to the 73rd to the 81st percentile — after a dip in 2023–2024. Math and ELA proficiency each run about 18.6 points above the state average across grades 3–5. Against its unusually strong neighbors, however, results look more mid-pack: its grades 3–5 math average (81.4) trails Ottoville Elementary School (93.6), Glandorf Elementary School (92.8) and Oakwood Elementary School (90.7), and its ELA average ranks fifth of eleven local schools. The district overall ranks 87th percentile statewide, slightly above the elementary school's own standing.

Attendance is a genuine standout: chronic absenteeism is 3.6%, well under half the district's 6.8% and far below Elida Elementary (20.7%). Classes are small (student/teacher ratio 11.6) and per-student spending is above average at $10,510. Science is the clear weak spot — 5th-grade proficiency of 65.5% sits only 2.8 points above the state, ranks seventh of the eight local schools reporting it, and has not returned to its 92.9% level from 2022–2023. Because each grade holds only about 20–30 students, a single year's grade-level number can swing widely; the multi-year trend is the better guide.
