Summary

Leipsic Elementary School in Leipsic, OH is a public school serving 290 students in grades K–5 in the Leipsic Local district. Its recent history is a story of a big rise and a recent slide: from 2015–16 through 2018–19 it sat at the 33rd–41st percentile with 2 stars, climbed to the 73rd–78th percentile and 4 stars from 2020–21 through 2022–23, then slipped to the 69th, 64th and 53rd percentile in the three most recent years. It is still above the state median, but in 2025–26 it ranked 737th of 1,560 schools and had the lowest rank percentile (53rd) of the ten nearby schools listed, which range from 58th at McComb Local Elementary School to 99th at Miller City Elementary School.

Test results split sharply by grade. Third-grade math and ELA proficiency were both 88.5%, well above the state (62.1% and 63.4%). Upper grades are the opposite: 4th-grade math was 55.1%, below the state and the lowest among nearby schools; 5th-grade math was 40.5%, far below the state and the lowest nearby; and 5th-grade ELA and science, while above state averages, trailed every nearby school teaching those grades. Following cohorts shows math dropping from 82.2% in 3rd grade to 65.0% in 4th and 40.5% in 5th for the current 5th grade, and from 84.1% to 55.1% for the current 4th grade.

Several common explanations do not fit. Chronic absenteeism was 4.1% in 2025–26, improved from the prior year and better than the district's 10.1%, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is the second-lowest nearby, after Columbus Grove Elementary School's 11.5. Poverty is higher than at Kalida Elementary School and Glandorf Elementary School but lower than at Ottawa Elementary School, which now outranks it. The school remains comparatively effective for students with disabilities, while low-income students fell to the 47th percentile. The key thing to watch is the upper-elementary math drop-off, and whether the strong 3rd-grade results carry forward.
