Summary

Lake Elementary School in Hartville, OH is a large public school of 1,223 students serving grades 2–6, and it is the only tested school in Lake Local, so its results stand in for the entire district at grades 3–6.

Academically, this is a top-tier school. In 2025–2026, students scored above the state average in every subject and grade tested — roughly 20 points higher in math and science and 17 points higher in reading, with fourth-grade math the standout at 92.9% proficient. The school has ranked at the 87th percentile or better statewide for ten straight years, though its most recent year (87th percentile, 4 stars, 203rd of 1,560 schools) is its softest of the decade. Nearby North Canton Intermediate School now ranks slightly higher (151st) and edged Lake on five of seven shared tests. Lake still far outpaces Spring Hill Elementary, about six miles away, where third-grade math proficiency is 44.1%; the two communities differ greatly, so that gap is not simply about teaching.

Chronic absenteeism is 1.9%, by far the lowest among nearby schools and well below the 11.2% district average — but it fell from 9.3% the year before, a drop large enough that it may reflect a change in reporting rather than real improvement, so it is worth asking about. Lake Elementary also has the lowest poverty rate in its comparison group (22.7%, up about 6 points over three years), the highest class sizes (24.4 students per teacher, versus 15.3 at its own Lake Primary School), and near-lowest spending ($7,869 per student), yet still posts strong results. Low-income students rank in the 90th percentile statewide and special education students in the 76th. Watch third-grade reading (down to 75.5%) and fifth-grade science (down to 82.4%).
