Summary

Adena Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Frankfort, Ohio, serving 524 students as part of the Adena Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1005th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (36th percentile, 2 stars), placing it below the state median but slightly above its own district's overall standing — the district ranks 573rd of 773 districts statewide.

Attendance is the clearest bright spot. Adena's chronic absenteeism rate is 9.3%, down from 23.7% in 2021–2022 and lower than its district (13.2%) and every nearby school with comparable data, including Belle Aire Intermediate (13.0%), Huntington Elementary School (26.0%), and Chillicothe Intermediate School (31.2%). Academically, the standout is 4th grade math, where Adena has beaten the state for four straight years (73.9% proficient in 2025–2026 versus the state's 67.3%). The school also serves its special education students relatively well, ranking at the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 — well above its overall 36th percentile — and at the 71st percentile (4 stars) the year before.

Challenges are concentrated in the early grades. Third grade math and ELA have fallen below the state every year since 2022–2023, often by double digits (47% and 53% in 2025–2026). Fifth grade science dropped sharply to 45.9%, far below the state's 62.7%. Adena also has the highest student–teacher ratio (24.9) and the lowest per-student spending ($8,230) among nearby schools, alongside nearly universal free/reduced-lunch eligibility (99.43%). Peer comparisons put Adena in the middle-to-lower tier: Zane Trace Elementary School and Unioto Elementary generally outperform it, while Adena beats Chillicothe Intermediate School in most subjects and often Paint Valley Elementary. Whether Adena climbs will likely depend on holding its attendance gains while shoring up 3rd grade foundations.
