Summary
Miami Trace Elementary School is a K–5 school with 1,139 students in Washington Court House, OH, part of Miami Trace Local — and it is by far the largest elementary school in its surrounding area. Statewide, the school ranks 582 of 1,560 in 2025–2026 (63rd percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranks 271 of 773 (65th percentile, 3 stars). In 2025–2026, Miami Trace Elementary scored above Ohio's proficiency rate in every reported tested area, with the biggest margins in 5th-grade science (77.8% vs. 62.7%) and 3rd-grade math (77.5% vs. 62.1%). The narrowest edge was 4th-grade ELA (62.2% vs. 61.8%), a subject that has occasionally dipped below the state average in prior years.
Compared with nearby schools, Miami Trace sits in the middle-high range rather than at the top. Sabina Elementary School outperformed it in every reported 2025–2026 tested area, and Fairfield Local Elementary School beat it in most subjects — though Miami Trace had higher 3rd-grade math (77.5% vs. 74.6%). Miami Trace is generally stronger than Adena Elementary School, Buckskin Elementary School, Greenfield Elementary School, Madison-Plains Elementary School, Belle Aire Intermediate, and Cherry Hill Primary, though individual grade-level results vary. Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 21.5% in 2022–2023 to 10.4% in 2025–2026, below the district's 13.1% and better than most nearby schools, including those in Washington Court House City.
Results for student groups are uneven. Low-income students ranked in the 86th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up sharply from the 59th percentile a year earlier — a real strength. Special education students, by contrast, ranked in the 22nd percentile with 1 star, continuing a decline from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024. The school is also much larger than its neighbors, with a higher student–teacher ratio (20.3). Overall, Miami Trace Elementary looks like a solid, above-state-average school with standout attendance and strong low-income student outcomes, but with room to grow in special education and to close the gap with the top nearby districts.
