Summary:
ZIP code 44624 is served by a single school: Dundee Elementary School, a K–6 building of 155 students in Dundee, Ohio, part of the Garaway Local district. Because it is the only school in the ZIP code, the district and Ohio state averages are the natural comparisons for families.
Dundee stands out for broad academic strength. It ranked 31st of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools (98th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023‑2024, 78th in 2024‑2025, and 166th of 1,560 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025‑2026 — still the top 11% of the state. Fifth-grade science is the marquee result: 100% proficiency in 2025‑2026 against a 62.7% state average, following 95.7% the year before. Math and English Language Arts also exceeded the state average in every grade tested in both years. Chronic absenteeism is low at 5.7%, slightly better than the district's 5.9%; 27.1% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch; per-student spending was $8,136 (a dated 2018‑2019 figure); and the student–teacher ratio of 22.1:1 is high for an elementary building.
The trend worth watching is a narrowing lead over its own district. Dundee's average proficiency slipped from 87.0% to 83.7% between 2024‑2025 and 2025‑2026, while Garaway Local rose from 76.8% to 80.2% — shrinking the school's advantage from +10.2 to +3.5 points. Nearly all of the decline came from ELA, which fell 86.2% to 78.3% across every grade cohort, while math held essentially flat (85.6% to 85.1%). Sixth-grade math (77.3% against the district's 85.5%) is the one clear soft spot. With roughly 20–25 students tested per grade, single-year swings should be read with caution, but the two-year ELA pattern is consistent.
