Summary

Otsego Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tontogany, Ohio, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 825 students. The school is part of the Otsego Local School District, which is ranked 215 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otsego Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 78.2%, compared to the state average of 64.4%. Similarly, the school's 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 70.5%, compared to the state average of 67.7%. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.5% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school's White students and Special Education students having lower rankings compared to the state, while the school's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively well, ranking 45th out of 128 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022.

When compared to nearby schools, Otsego Elementary School generally performs well in terms of test scores, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Perrysburg Exempted Village and Anthony Wayne Local districts. For example, Monclova Elementary and Whitehouse Primary, both in the Anthony Wayne Local district, consistently rank among the top 50 elementary schools in Ohio and have significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts. Additionally, the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Otsego Elementary School, from 24.73% in 2022-2023 to 30.91% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may need to address the unique needs of its growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
