Summary

Glandorf Elementary School is a K–8 public school in Ottawa, OH, serving 515 students as part of the Ottawa-Glandorf Local district in a small-town northwest Ohio community. In 2025–2026 it ranked 48th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 97th percentile with 5 stars — and it has earned 5 stars in every reported year, never falling below the 91st percentile.

Attendance is a standout feature: chronic absenteeism was just 0.9% in 2025–2026, down from 2.2% in 2021–2022, compared with 4.9% for the district. Among nearby schools, only Miller City Elementary School is slightly lower at 0.8%, while Pandora-Gilboa sits at 10.2% and Patrick Henry at 8.9%. Academically, Glandorf's unweighted average across available tests was about 86.5%, versus about 83.0% for the district and about 60.2% statewide. Fourth-grade math and ELA both reached 98%. The relative soft spots are science and 8th-grade math — 5th-grade science at 84.3% (district 87.1%), 8th-grade science at 77.2% (district 80.6%), and 8th-grade math at 73.2% (district 75.3%) — all still above state averages. Algebra I came in at 87.5%, down from 100% in the three prior reported years but well above the state's 61.6%.

Compared with neighbors, Glandorf sits in the top tier alongside Bluffton Elementary School (43/1560, 97th percentile) and Miller City Elementary School (12/1560, 99th percentile), though Miller City serves only K–5 while Glandorf maintains strong middle-grade results. Glandorf generally outpaces Ottawa Elementary School (335/1560, 79th percentile) and other nearby schools. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 6.8% is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, and it posts these results with a student-teacher ratio of 16.1 and per-student spending of $8,785 in 2018–2019 — less than several nearby districts. Special education students ranked in the 77th percentile in 2024–2025, a watch point worth monitoring.
