Elmwood Elementary School performs well across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's ranking for special education students and low socioeconomic status students is particularly noteworthy, with the school ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.
