Summary

Stingel Elementary School is a large PK–5 school serving 922 students in Ontario, Ohio, as part of the Ontario Local district, which ranks 149th of 773 Ohio districts (81st percentile, 4 stars). Stingel is substantially bigger than every nearby comparison school — most of them enroll between roughly 100 and 382 students, while Malabar Intermediate School has 660 and Sherman Elementary School has 613 — giving it more grade-level breadth but also a larger operation to manage.

Academically, Stingel stays above the Ohio average in every reported 2025–2026 test area. Its standout results are 5th-grade Science (82.4% proficient vs. 62.7% statewide) and 5th-grade ELA (86.6% vs. 70.4%), and it leads its local comparison group in 5th-grade science. Chronic absenteeism is another clear strength at 5.8%, the lowest among nearby schools with data and well below the district's 7.6% — a sharp contrast with Malabar (26.9%) and Sherman (25.7%). The main local academic peer is Mansfield Spanish Immersion School, which posts higher ELA and math results in most areas, but it has a much smaller student-teacher ratio (10.2 vs. 21.8) and far higher per-student spending ($11,654 vs. $6,730), so the comparison is not apples-to-apples.

There are a few things for parents to weigh. Stingel's statewide rank in 2025–2026 is 485th of 1,560 elementary schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), down from the 78th percentile the prior year and 80th before that, and its effectiveness ratings for some student groups were lower than in recent years. Third-grade results are its thinnest margins (64.2% ELA, 67.2% math), and Central Elementary School in Lexington Local outperforms it in those grades, though Central serves only grades 2–3. Stingel also has the highest student-teacher ratio in its comparison group at 21.8, while spending near the bottom of that group — a sign of efficiency, but a possible pressure point.
