Summary

Tuslaw Elementary School is a public school in Massillon, Ohio, serving roughly 482 students in grades K–4 as part of Tuslaw Local, a district ranked 162nd of 773 Ohio districts — 79th percentile, 4 stars.

In 2025–2026, Tuslaw Elementary ranked 414th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 73rd percentile, 4 stars — but its relative position has slipped from the 84th percentile in 2021–2022 to 73rd in 2025–2026. Math is the clear strength: 4th grade math proficiency was 90.6% versus 67.3% statewide, ahead of Southway Elementary School, Watson Elementary School, W. S. Stinson Elementary School, Amherst Elementary School, and Dalton Elementary School, and close to the high-performing Jackson Local schools Sauder Elementary School and Strausser Elementary School. Third grade math was 78.2% versus 62.1% statewide. The main academic concern is 3rd grade ELA at 66.0% — only 2.6 points above the state, below most nearby schools, and down from 78.8% in 2022–2023.

Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2025–2026, below the district's 10.6% and lower than Southway Elementary School, Amherst Elementary School, Massillon East Elementary, and Massillon West Elementary School, though higher than Northwest Primary School, W. S. Stinson Elementary School, and Dalton Elementary School. Resources stand out in the opposite direction: the school had the highest student-teacher ratio (21.9 in 2024–2025) and the lowest reported per-student spending ($7,332 in 2018–2019) among the nearby schools, yet still produced strong math and 4th grade ELA results. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 34.85% in 2024–2025, up from 24.22% in 2022–2023 — lower than Southway and Watson but well above Sauder and Strausser. Special education and low-SES subgroups ranked near the overall school level in 2025–2026, around the 72nd–73rd percentile.
