Summary

Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus is a PK–6 elementary school in Bettsville, OH, serving 380 students in the Old Fort Local district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 673 of 1,560 schools statewide (57th percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranked 205 of 773 (73rd percentile, 4 stars). The school’s rank rose to the 76th–78th percentile around 2020–21 to 2021–22 but has since slipped to 57th, still above its 2017–18 low of 42nd percentile. Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism is 6.2% versus 11.0% for the district, and only Hopewell-Loudon Local Elementary School is close among nearby schools at 6.7%. Class size is favorable at 15.8 students per teacher, with $9,904 per-student spending in available data.

Academically, the school is above state averages in most math and ELA grades, but grade 5 is the weak link. Grade 3 ELA is especially strong at 81.6% proficient, 18.2 points above the state, and grade 4 math is 79.5% versus 67.3% statewide. In grade 5, math is 50.9% versus 59.1% statewide, and science fell to 56.6% versus 62.7% statewide in 2025–2026 after being 85.1%, 79.6%, and 73.2% in the prior three years. Compared with Hopewell-Loudon Local Elementary School, a similar PK–6 school, it trails in science, grade 3 math, grade 5 math, and grade 5 ELA, but is stronger in grade 3 ELA and competitive in grade 4. Against Fremont City and Tiffin City Schools campuses, attendance and class size compare well, while test results are mixed.

Subgroup results are uneven: the school’s overall 57th-percentile rank is higher than its ranks for special education students (40th percentile) and low-socioeconomic-status students (48th), and both have declined since 2023–24. The free/reduced lunch share has risen from 27.99% in 2022–23 to 37.01% in 2023–24 and 44.21% in 2024–25, adding important context. The bottom line: Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus has excellent attendance, relatively small classes, and above-state math and ELA results in most grades, but families should watch grade 5 math, the sharp science drop, and weaker subgroup effectiveness. The closest academic peer, Hopewell-Loudon Local Elementary School, has similar attendance but currently outperforms in most tested areas.

There is no sport program at this school! They can't win a game plus they have no Football just Basketball. There Coaches in this school are not very Athletic orientated.
There is no Music program in this school...The band holds about fifteen students, with this many students they should all play on key...Not True the worse music program that I have seen in a school..
Academic are fair. Most of these students are not as prepared for college as they should be..Their Academic have them ready for a Community College but not a University.. With meeting students from this School, most of them just continue on at the local Community College, after dropping out of the University.
Academically if they built their Athletic Department, and their Music Department. There Staff would see this would help their Academic greatly..And their funding for these programs would increase for more upgraded equipment.
By equipment I mean for all three departments.. They have missed the boat on the whole great picture..It can't be because of their size.. There are other schools that are that small, and have better programs. Close Quote
