Summary:
ZIP code 43802 in Adamsville, Ohio is served by a single public school: Adamsville Elementary School, a PK–6 building with 255 students that is part of the Tri-Valley Local district. Because this is a one-school ZIP, there is no local comparison to make — parents here have one elementary option, and the useful comparisons are between the school and its district and the state of Ohio as a whole.
That comparison is largely a good-news story. The school has climbed from the 48th to the 72nd percentile of Ohio schools in two years, moving from 2 stars to 4 stars in state rankings and improving 376 places. In 2025–2026 it scored above the Ohio proficiency rate in 17 of 18 grade-and-subject tests, with a composite average of 77.1 versus the state's 62.1. Fifth grade is the standout: 100% proficiency in science, 96.7% in math, and 90% in English language arts. The building also gained ground faster than its district, narrowing its gap from 6.3 points to just 1.9 points, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.4% is better than the district's 12.5%.
There are watch items worth tracking. Sixth grade is the weakest grade — the only one to fall below the district in both subjects both years, and the source of the school's single below-state result (sixth grade ELA at 54.8% vs. the state's 56.0%). Third grade ELA also dropped 14.8 points in a year, moving against the district's direction. Because Adamsville serves 255 students across PK–6, each tested grade is small, so a single student can move a result by roughly 3 percentage points — and mobility can change who is in a grade from year to year. With 55.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a 19.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the results are notable, but the strongest and weakest numbers alike deserve another year of data before being treated as settled trends.
