Summary

New Riegel Elementary School is a small K–5 public school serving 179 students in the village of New Riegel, Ohio, in Seneca County, and it operates as the elementary school of New Riegel Local, which ranks 140th of 773 Ohio districts.

Academically, New Riegel Elementary School is in the strongest stretch of its modern record, earning 4 stars in six straight ranked years — reaching the 82nd percentile statewide in both 2022-23 and 2024-25 and landing at the 78th percentile (344th of 1,560 schools) in 2025-26. Across the seven tested areas reported in 2025-26, students averaged about 79.6% proficient against a statewide average near 63.8%, with 4th-grade math at 92.0% and 3rd-grade ELA at 88.4% as standouts. The closest comparison, Hopewell-Loudon Local Elementary School just 5.2 miles away, posts nearly identical overall proficiency but gets there differently: stronger in 5th-grade math and science, weaker in reading and writing, and with a 6.7% chronic absenteeism rate. Mohawk Elementary School, 9.3 miles away, is the benchmark to beat, with a 5-star year as recently as 2024-25 and higher outcomes on roughly $2,200 less per student. The one clear soft spot is 5th-grade math, where proficiency fell to 46.7% — the only 2025-26 result below the state and a sharp drop for that single class — even though the same students scored well in reading and writing.

Attendance is this school's signature: chronic absenteeism of 1.1% is the lowest of any nearby school and well below its own district's 4.0%. It also has a lean 12.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio and spends $11,078 per student. Tested gifted-and-talented students rank in the bottom third of Ohio schools (21st percentile, 1 star, in 2023-24), the only measure where New Riegel sits below its own high standard.
