Summary

Adena Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Frankfort, Ohio, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 563 students. The school is part of the Adena Local School District, which is ranked 559 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adena Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, ranging from 711 out of 1,610 schools in 2020-2021 to 850 out of 1,558 schools in 2024-2025. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief period of 3 stars in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. While male students have generally performed better than female students, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools. Adena Elementary's proficiency rates in Ohio State Tests are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Belle Aire Intermediate, Zane Trace Elementary, and Huntington Elementary, Adena Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher statewide rankings and better academic proficiency rates. However, Adena Elementary outperforms some nearby schools, such as Chillicothe Intermediate and Chillicothe Primary, in certain subject areas and student group rankings. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 14.7% to 19.6% in recent years, could be a potential area of focus to improve student outcomes.
