Summary

Stryker Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 231 students in the small community of Stryker, Ohio, part of the Stryker Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 513th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 67th percentile with 3 stars — while its district ranked 318th of 773 districts, in the 59th percentile with 3 stars. That marks a rebound: after dipping to the 47th percentile / 2 stars in 2024–2025, the school returned close to the 61st–68th percentile range it held in most years from 2015–2016 through 2021–2022.

Academically, Stryker’s tested grades averaged about 72.0% proficient across nine state test areas in 2025–2026, above the state average of about 62.1%, and it beat the state in 8 of 9 areas. Standouts include 3rd-grade ELA (86.2%), 5th-grade science (80.8%), 5th-grade math (73.1%), and 6th-grade ELA (63.0%). The consistent exception is 4th-grade ELA, which came in at 59.1% against the state’s 61.8% and has been below state for three straight years — the clearest area to watch. Among nearby schools, Stryker sits in the middle: generally behind Archbold Elementary School, Pettisville Elementary School, Fairview Elementary School, Tinora Elementary School, and Bryan Elementary, close to Wauseon Elementary School and Hilltop Elementary School, and ahead of North Central Elementary School and Fayette Elementary School.

School climate is a clear strength. Chronic absenteeism was 6.3% in 2025–2026, well below the district’s 10.9% and lower than nearly every nearby school except Pettisville Elementary School (2.0%) and Archbold Elementary School (5.6%). Its student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is the lowest among nearby schools — a real advantage at a school where 54.11% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Most encouraging, low-income students ranked in the 81st percentile with 4 stars, up from the 55th and 61st percentiles in the prior two years, suggesting the school serves its low-income students notably well.
