Summary

E A Powell Elementary School is a K–6 school in North Baltimore, OH, serving 370 students as part of the North Baltimore Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1009th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools — the 35th percentile, or 2 stars — down from the 51st percentile and 3 stars in 2018–2019, its lowest standing in the available history.

Academically, results are mixed but mostly below state averages. Third-grade ELA (75.5% proficient vs. 63.4% statewide) and sixth-grade math (59.2 vs. 56.2) beat the state. Everything else lagged, with the largest gaps in third- through fifth-grade math — fourth-grade math was 43.2 versus 67.3 statewide, and the lowest among nearby tested schools including Liberty-Benton Elementary School (87.3), Arcadia Elementary School (93.3), and Van Buren Elementary School (82.4). Fourth-grade ELA (43.2 vs. 61.8) and fifth-grade ELA (63.0 vs. 70.4) were also below state and among the lowest nearby. Fifth-grade science fell to 51.9 after two years above the state average.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism dropped from 24.5% in 2021–2022 to 7.1% in 2025–2026, better than the district’s 13.1% and below Wilson Vance Elementary School (12.2%) and Bigelow Hill Elementary School (18.1%), though higher than Liberty-Benton (1.9%) and Van Buren (2.5%). Resources look strong — the highest per-student spending ($12,292) and one of the smallest classes (13.4 students per teacher) among nearby schools — yet proficiency trails schools spending less, such as McComb Local Elementary School. Girls consistently outperform boys, and low-income and special-education students rank near the middle of the state.
