Summary

Rittman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 371 students in grades K-5 in Rittman, Ohio, which is part of the Rittman Exempted Village School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, with 76.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 63.4%. However, the school has seen higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 13.5% over the past few years.

Rittman Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.64% to 56.6% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.8 to 14.9 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby Norwayne Elementary School (20 students per teacher) and the Wadsworth City schools (ranging from 14.6 to 18.1 students per teacher).

While Rittman Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it has shown some strengths and weaknesses in the performance of different student subgroups. The school ranks highly for multi-racial students but struggles with special education and gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools for these groups. This suggests that the school may need to focus on supporting its more vulnerable student populations to ensure all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
