Summary:
The 45322 ZIP code is home to three elementary schools — Union Elementary School, Northmoor Elementary School, and Englewood Hills Elementary School — all part of the Northmont City district. All three serve the upper elementary grades (grades 2–6 or 3–6) and together enroll 1,366 students. The district itself ranks 251 out of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.
Northmoor Elementary School is clearly the strongest of the three. It ranks 191 out of 1,560 schools statewide — the 88th percentile with 4 stars — and has held steady in the mid-to-high 80s over three years. Its average proficiency across the nine listed 2025–26 tests is 81.9%, roughly 18 percentage points above the other two schools, and every listed test score beats both district and state averages. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (16.6), the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (46.29%), and the lowest 2018–19 per-student spending ($9,330).
Union Elementary School and Englewood Hills Elementary School are near the state middle, ranking 755th and 769th (52nd and 51st percentile) with 3 stars, and both average about 63.6% proficiency. Their trajectories differ: Union recovered from 49th to 52nd percentile and posted big early-ELA gains (3rd-grade ELA rose from 47.4% to 65.6%), while Englewood Hills slipped from 61st to 51st percentile and posted the lowest single score in the data at 40.3% in 5th-grade Math. Englewood Hills also has the highest poverty rate (60.16%) and the widest swings. Notably, chronic absenteeism is below the district's 20.1% at all three schools, so it does not explain the proficiency gap between Northmoor and the others.
