Summary

East Elementary School is a small public school in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, serving about 117 students in kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Upper Sandusky Exempted Village district. For 2025–2026 it ranked 81st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the top 5% in the state and a 5-star rating — placing it ahead of every nearby school, including same-district Union Elementary School and South Elementary School.

In 2025–2026, East Elementary School scored above the Ohio average in every tested subject and grade. Math proficiency averaged about 94.4% across grades, compared with roughly 62.8% statewide, and English language arts averaged about 87.8% versus about 65.2% statewide, with fifth-grade ELA reaching 100%. Classes are also small: the student-teacher ratio is 12.8, lower than Union (17.8), South (15.5), Wynford Elementary School, Ridgedale Elementary School, Mohawk Elementary School, and Carey Elementary School. South is a strong same-district peer that does better in fifth-grade science (94.4% vs. 81.3%), fifth-grade math, and fourth-grade ELA, while East leads in third-grade math and ELA and fifth-grade ELA.

Two trends are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism rose to 11.8% in 2025–2026 — not yet alarming, but now above the district average (10.2%) and above Union (7.1%) and South (9.9%). The share of students from low-income families, measured by free/reduced lunch, climbed from 24.39% in 2022–2023 to 42.74% in 2024–2025, yet achievement stayed very high, which suggests effective supports are in place. Spending is moderate at $10,132 per student — close to South and Carey, and below New Riegel Elementary School and Vanlue Elementary School — so these results do not appear to come from unusually high funding.
