Summary

Dan Emmett Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 108 Mansfield Ave in Mount Vernon, Ohio, enrolling 244 students as one of five elementary schools in the Mount Vernon City district. It earned a 4-star rating in 2025–26, ranking 372nd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (76th percentile), within a 4-star district. Its defining feature is a long upward climb: Dan Emmett sat near the 55th percentile statewide in 2018–19 and 2020–21, then jumped into the 82nd–86th percentile range from 2022–23 through 2023–24. The last three years show a modest softening (86th → 83rd → 76th), but the school remains solidly in Ohio's top quarter.

The school's most striking strength is how well it serves its highest-need students. In 2025–26, its special-education students ranked 98th percentile statewide (21st of 914 schools) and its low-income students 94th percentile (87th of 1,467). English language arts is the standout subject: 3rd-grade ELA proficiency of 90% is the highest in the district, tied with Wiggin Street Elementary School and ahead of East Elementary School, Columbia Elementary School, Twin Oak Elementary School, and Pleasant Street Elementary School. Math and science are different: the school beats the state in every tested subject and grade, yet trails its own district peers in 3rd- and 4th-grade math and 5th-grade science. It does this with the lowest per-student spending in its comparison group ($7,351) and the smallest classes in Mount Vernon City (15.4 students per teacher).

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest turnaround, falling from 38.6% in 2021–22 to 18.5% in 2025–26 — more than halved — while the gap with the district narrowed from nearly 15 points to 2.4. Even so, 18.5% is the highest among all nearby schools, including Utica Elementary School, Fredericktown Elementary School, and Columbia, so it remains a watch item alongside recent math deceleration. At the 76th percentile, Dan Emmett outranks every nearby district school except Danville Elementary School.
