Summary

Vinton Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 334 students in Vinton, a rural community in Gallia County, Ohio, and it is part of Gallia County Local. In 2025–26 the school ranked 884th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 43rd percentile, 2 stars. That places it above its district's 32nd percentile, but below its same-district peers: Addaville Elementary School (55th percentile) and Southwestern Elementary School (59th). Among nearby schools, Vinton is above Meigs Intermediate School (28th) and close to Rio Grande Elementary School (48th), but below Washington, Oak Hill, Jackson Southview, and Green elementary schools.

Test results show one clear strength and several weak spots. Fourth-grade math is the bright spot: 80.5% proficient, well above the district (65.5%) and state (67.3%), and above Addaville and Southwestern. It is also consistent — 77.8% in 2022–23, 78.0% in 2023–24, 76.0% in 2024–25, and 80.5% in 2025–26. Fifth grade is the main drag: math is 54.0% versus the state's 59.1%, ELA is 62.0% versus 70.4%, and science is 56.0% versus 62.7%. Fifth-grade ELA trails most nearby schools, and fifth-grade science is below all nearby schools except Addaville. The strong fourth-grade math results do not appear to carry forward into fifth grade.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 22.4% in 2023–24 to 17.0% in 2025–26, better than the district's 22.3%, though still higher than Southwestern (9.1%), Rio Grande (9.3%), Green (9.6%), Addaville (12.8%), Washington (13.0%), Oak Hill (13.7%), and Jackson Southview (14.3%). The student–teacher ratio is 16.5, mid-pack locally, and spending was $9,670 per student in 2018–19. Subgroup results vary widely: students from low-income families rank 61st percentile with 3 stars, consistently above the school overall, while special education effectiveness fell from 84th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–24 to 32nd percentile with 2 stars in 2024–25 (the 2025–26 figure is not available).
