Summary

Crestline Elementary School is a K–4 school in Crestline, Ohio, serving 258 students as part of the Crestline Exempted Village district in north-central Ohio, between Mansfield and Galion. The district as a whole ranks 598th of 773 Ohio districts (23rd percentile, 1 star), but the school has recently done better than that district profile: in 2025–2026 it ranked 900th of 1,560 schools — 42nd percentile, 2 stars — its best showing since 2017–2018 and a clear step up from the previous two years, when it sat at the 26th percentile with 1 star.

Other indicators are moving in the same direction. Chronic absenteeism fell to 12.4% in 2025–2026 from 30.4% in 2021–2022, below the district's 19.0% and below most nearby schools, including The Richland School of Academic Arts (31.2%), Sherman Elementary School (25.7%), Foundation Academy (24.5%), Springmill STEM Elementary (19.1%) and Galion Intermediate Elementary School (13.7%) — though still higher than Stingel Elementary School (5.8%), Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5 (5.6%) and Shelby Elementary School (8.7%). The student-teacher ratio dropped to 13.8 in 2024–2025 (from 23.6 in 2022–2023), the lowest among the nearby schools compared here, and per-pupil spending was $10,544 in 2018–2019, second only to Sherman locally.

Test results are uneven. Grade 4 ELA proficiency was 77.8% in 2025–2026, above the state's 61.8% and higher than every nearby school listed; grade 4 math was 66.7%, close to the state's 67.3%. Grade 3 ELA and math, however, were both 50%, below the state averages of 63.4% and 62.1%. Students from lower-income families ranked at the 57th percentile with 3 stars, above the school's overall figure. Stingel (in Ontario Local) and Hannah Crawford (in Colonel Crawford Local) remain stronger benchmarks overall, and comparisons across schools with different grade spans should be read with care.
