Summary:
ZIP code 44690 contains exactly one elementary school: Winesburg Elementary School, a K–6 school serving 148 students in the East Holmes Local district in Ohio. With only one school in the area, there is no cross-school comparison to make, so this is a detailed look at Winesburg itself — a small, 4-star school in a district ranked 88th of 773 Ohio districts, or the 89th percentile.
Academically, the school has been consistently above average, ranking in the 73rd, 87th, and 81st percentiles statewide over the last three reported years and earning 4 stars each time. Math is its clearest strength: in 2025–2026 every math grade beat both district and state averages, including 5th grade math at 94.7% versus the state's 59.1%, and in 2024–2025 both 3rd and 4th grade math reached 100%. English language arts is mostly strong too, but 6th grade ELA stands out as the main academic concern at 47.8% — below the district's 77.7% and the state's 56.0%, and down from 56.5% the prior year. Fifth grade science came in at 63.2%, just above the state's 62.7% but 17.6 points below the district.
The most striking non-academic issue is chronic absenteeism: 27.9% at the school versus 10.5% in the district, meaning more than one in four students are chronically absent. Other context is favorable — a 14.86% free/reduced lunch rate and a 14.9 student-teacher ratio — though per-student spending of $10,465 is from 2018–2019 and is dated. Because grade sizes average roughly 21 students, single-year swings should be read with caution. Overall, Winesburg is a genuinely strong, math-focused school whose priorities for improvement are 6th grade ELA, science relative to the district, and absenteeism.
