Summary

Rittman Elementary School is a K–5 school in Rittman, OH, with 359 students, serving a community where the school is part of the Rittman Exempted Village district. In 2025–26, it ranked 699 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), while the district was ranked 236 of 773 districts. The school peaked in 2016–17 at the 77th percentile with 4 stars, and has generally been in the mid-50th to mid-60th percentile since then, including 55th percentile in both 2025–26 and 2024–25.

Academically, Rittman was above the Ohio average in 5 of 7 tested subjects. Science 5 and Math 5 were strengths: Science 5 scored 78.4 versus the state’s 62.7, and Math 5 scored 68.6 versus 59.1. Math 4 (60.0 vs. 67.3) and ELA 5 (68.6 vs. 70.4) were below state averages, and Math 4 was the lowest among reporting nearby schools. Compared with local peers, Rittman generally trailed higher-performing schools such as Overlook Elementary School, Chippewa Intermediate School, Norwayne Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, Isham Memorial Elementary School, and Valley View Elementary School in math and ELA. Chronic absenteeism was 9.3%, below the district’s 9.9% and better than Barberton Primary School (28.8%), Lincoln Elementary School (14.2%), Isham Memorial Elementary School (12.2%), and Chippewa Intermediate School (11.7%), though Green Elementary School, Valley View Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, and Norwayne Elementary School were lower. The school had a 57.66% free/reduced lunch rate in 2024–25, the highest among known nearby schools, but also an unusually low 12:1 student-teacher ratio.

Subgroup data show some equity gaps. Special education students improved to the 43rd percentile in 2025–26 from 21st in 2024–25, but still ranked below the school’s overall 55th percentile. Low-socioeconomic-status students were around the 54th percentile, down from the 60s in prior years but still 3 stars. Older data also showed low rankings for disabled and gifted/talented students. Overall, Rittman is a mid-performing school that beats the state in several areas—especially science and 5th-grade math—but trails many nearby high-performing schools in math and ELA. The biggest opportunities are 4th-grade math, 5th-grade ELA, and continued work on subgroup equity.
