Summary:
ZIP code 44815 is home to exactly one public school: Old Fort Elementary School Bettsville Campus in Bettsville, Ohio. It serves prekindergarten through 6th grade with 380 students and belongs to the Old Fort Local district. Because there are no middle, high, or alternative campuses in this ZIP, families here have a single neighborhood option for the elementary years. The district itself is rated 4 stars, ranking 205th of 773 Ohio districts, or the 73rd percentile.
Academically, the school scores above the state average in about half of its tested areas. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade ELA was the standout at 81.6% proficient, 18.2 points above the state, while 3rd grade math reached 75.5%, 13.4 points above. Fourth grade math has been consistently strong at 79.5% in 2025–2026 and 80.7% the prior year, roughly 12 points above Ohio both times. Fifth grade is the clear weak spot: math came in at 50.9%, 8.2 points below the state, and science dropped to 56.6% from 73.2% — a 16.6-point decline that moved it from above to below the state average. Overall, the school's average proficiency was about 66.6%, against roughly 62.1% statewide.
Attendance is a notable strength, with chronic absenteeism at 6.2% in 2025–2026 versus 11.0% for the district. Other context: 44.21% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 15.8, and per-student spending was $9,904 in 2018–2019, a dated figure. The school has held 3 stars for three straight years, with its percentile slipping from 62 to 57, so while results remain solidly above average in several grades, its standing relative to other Ohio schools has not been improving.
