Summary:

ZIP code 45245 is an elementary-only area with five public elementary schools — all PK–5 or K–5 — serving about 2,499 students, with four schools in West Clermont Local and one in New Richmond Exempted Village. No middle, high, or alternative schools appear in this list.

Clough Pike Elementary is the clear standout: the only 4-star school, ranked 435/1560 (72nd percentile), and highest in the ZIP in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Math and in 4th grade ELA. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (12.1%) and the lowest reported free/reduced lunch share (35.67%). Locust Corner Elementary is not the top overall school but leads in 5th grade Science (80.0%) and 5th grade ELA (75.0%), with the lowest student/teacher ratio (14.9) and highest per-student spending ($11,237) — yet its 3rd grade Math score of 48.6% is the lowest in the group. Merwin Elementary sits in the steady middle: 3 stars, 57th percentile, and above the state in most 2025–26 subjects.

The widest gaps between schools appear in math and science rather than ELA: 5th grade Science ranges from 47.0% to 80.0% and 3rd grade Math from 48.6% to 81.1%, while 3rd grade ELA spans only 5.7 points. Withamsville-Tobasco Elementary faces the biggest challenge — the lowest rank (44th percentile), lowest 5th grade Science (47.0%) and 5th grade Math (42.4%), and highest free/reduced lunch (62.00%) — though its absenteeism is low at 12.7%. Summerside Elementary is mixed, with strong 5th grade Math (69.3%) but the highest absenteeism (20.9%). Note that Summerside's free/reduced lunch value is not reported, and spending figures date to 2018–19.
