Summary

Matamoras Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Frontier Local School District in New Matamoras, Ohio. With just 105 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Matamoras Elementary School faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 29.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of the nearby schools analyzed. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are also generally lower than the Frontier Local district and the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 25% compared to the district's 38.5% and the state's 63.4%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Newport Elementary (also in the Frontier Local district) and the schools in the Fort Frye Local and Switzerland of Ohio Local districts, generally perform better than Matamoras Elementary School on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges it faces, such as the high rates of poverty among its student population.
