Summary:
ZIP code 44621 in Dennison, Ohio, contains just one elementary school in this data set: Claymont Intermediate School, a grades 3–5 campus with 341 students that is part of the Claymont City district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no in-ZIP peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district, Ohio state averages, and the school's own prior-year results.
On academics, the school currently trails the state. In 2025–2026, every reported subject and grade came in below Ohio's average, with an overall reported proficiency average of about 52.0% against the state's 63.8% — a gap of about 11.8 percentage points. English language arts was the weaker area: roughly 51.1% across grades 3–5 versus Ohio's 65.2%, a gap of about 14.1 points, compared with about 9.6 points in math. The largest single gaps were 3rd grade ELA (18.2 points below the state) and 4th grade ELA (16.5 points below). Results also slipped from the prior year, when the average was about 57.7%, and the school's state rank moved from 910th in 2023–2024 to 960th to 1,081st in 2025–2026, with its percentile falling from 42 to 38 to 31. Fifth grade has been uneven: in 2024–2025, math was 9.6 points above the state average and ELA matched it exactly, but in 2025–2026 both fell below — a reminder that grades 3–5 are different student cohorts each year.
The clearest bright spot is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 14.5%, compared with 17.7% for the district — 3.2 points lower — though it still means roughly 1 in 7 students. Other figures come with limits: the free/reduced lunch rate is not reported, per-student spending of $9,555 dates to 2018–2019, and no state comparison is provided for the 17.4 student-teacher ratio.
