Summary

Port Washington Elementary School is a public school serving grades K–5 with about 380 students in the small community of Port Washington, Ohio, and it is part of the Indian Valley Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 208th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 87th percentile, 4 stars — placing it in the top roughly 13% statewide and well above its district's 76th-percentile standing. The school has been consistently strong over time, reaching 5-star, 93rd-percentile results in 2024–2025 after sitting at 61st percentile with 3 stars back in 2015–2016.

Port Washington outperformed both its district and the state in every tested subject and grade in 2025–2026. Math and science stand out: fourth-grade math reached 92.3%, fifth-grade math 87.3%, and fifth-grade science 85.9%, all well above state averages. The most direct comparison is same-district Midvale Elementary School, which serves the same K–5 grades with similar enrollment about 10.6 miles away. Port Washington is 21 percentile points higher in rank and beat Midvale in all seven comparable tested areas. Among nearby schools, only Ragersville Elementary School in Garaway Local competes closely, and Port Washington led there in five of seven comparable areas. Port Washington also far outscored Claymont Intermediate School (31st percentile, 2 stars) and South Elementary School in every comparable area.

Chronic absenteeism is a major strength: 7.1% in 2025–2026, down from 14.4% in 2022–2023 and far below the district's 13.3%. Only Ragersville's 1.3% is lower among nearby schools. Results for low-income students have been exceptional — 95th percentile or higher for three straight years, including 99th percentile in 2024–2025 — and special education students ranked 97th percentile in 2023–2024. Watch items are the slight rank dip in 2025–2026 and male students at the 80th percentile, still solidly above average.
