Summary

Wilson Vance Elementary School in Findlay, OH, is a grades 3–5 school serving 412 students as the largest of Findlay City’s 3–5 elementary buildings. In 2025–2026, it ranked 757th of 1,560 Ohio schools—51st percentile, 3 stars—similar to the Findlay City district’s 381st of 773, also 51st percentile and 3 stars. That is a notable decline from 2018–2019, when it reached the 88th percentile, and 2020–2021, when it reached the 84th percentile, so parents should see it as a mid-ranked school that once performed near the top of the state.

Test results are uneven by grade. Grade 3 math (54.5%) and ELA (55.2%) are below district and state, and grade 5 science (61.2%) is below the district’s 66.9% and just below the state’s 62.7%. Grades 4 and 5 are stronger: grade 4 math (75.9%), grade 4 ELA (71.1%), grade 5 math (65.0%), and grade 5 ELA (76.5%) all exceed district and state figures, and grade 5 ELA has been a sustained strength. Within Findlay City, Wilson Vance Elementary School outperforms Bigelow Hill Elementary School in grade 4 math, grade 4 ELA, and grade 5 ELA, and roughly ties grade 5 math, but trails Chamberlin Hill Elementary School in grade 3 math, grade 3 ELA, and grade 5 science.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.2%, better than Findlay City’s 16.1% and better than Bigelow Hill Elementary School (18.1%) and Northview Primary School (17.4%), but much higher than nearby higher-ranked schools: Liberty-Benton Elementary School (1.9%), Van Buren Elementary School (2.5%), Arcadia Elementary School (5.9%), and McComb Local Elementary School (7.1%). Wilson Vance Elementary School’s 44.66% free/reduced lunch rate is moderate; McComb Local Elementary School has a similar overall rank with much higher poverty (84.92%) and lower absenteeism. The biggest concern is subgroup performance: students with disabilities ranked 912th of 914 with 0 stars, while English language learners and low-income students also fell below the state median. Nearby Liberty-Benton Elementary School, Van Buren Elementary School, and Arcadia Elementary School are 4-star, higher-ranked schools, so Wilson Vance Elementary School has room to grow, especially in grade 3, grade 5 science, attendance, and support for vulnerable student groups.
