Summary

Matamoras Elementary School is a small K–5 school serving 102 students in the rural Ohio River community of New Matamoras, part of the Frontier Local district, which ranks 538th of 773 Ohio districts—about the 30th percentile—with 2 stars. In 2025–26 the school placed 1,141st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, the 27th percentile with 1 star—its lowest percentile in the available history and a drop from the 36th percentile in 2024–25. It has sat in the bottom third statewide for most of the past decade, usually at 2 stars.

Among nearby schools, Matamoras ranks lowest. Newport Elementary School, in the same district about 12 miles away, is at the 54th percentile with 3 stars despite larger classes and lower per-student spending. Salem-Liberty Elementary School of Fort Frye Local is at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, and Woodsfield Elementary School, River Elementary School, and Skyvue Elementary School of Switzerland of Ohio Local all rank higher. In 2025–26, Matamoras scored below district and state in nearly every tested area; its nine scores average roughly 44%, versus about 59% for the district and 62% for the state. Bright spots include 3rd-grade ELA at 70%, above the state's 63.4% for a third straight year, and 5th-grade science at 57.1%, up from 25%. Weak spots are 4th-grade math (33.3%), 4th-grade ELA (38.9%), 6th-grade math (26.7%), and 6th-grade ELA (20%).

Reported free/reduced lunch was 97.14% in 2023–24, and chronic absenteeism was 27.0% in 2025–26—improved from 35.4% in 2022–23 and slightly below the district average, but far above Salem-Liberty's 6.8%. Per-student spending is $13,180 with a 13.0 student-teacher ratio, so resources are not obviously lacking. Effectiveness with low-income students was a relative strength at the 51st percentile in 2023–24 but slipped to the 30th percentile by 2025–26. With only 102 students, year-to-year swings are volatile, so single-year changes deserve caution.
