Summary:
ZIP code 45848 in Ottawa, Ohio, has one reported public school: Glandorf Elementary School, serving 515 students in grades K–8 and belonging to the Ottawa-Glandorf Local district. Because it is the only listed school in the area, it serves as both the elementary and middle school option for local families — the area reports no separate middle, high, or alternative schools.
Glandorf Elementary is a consistently high performer. It earned 5 stars and ranked in the top 2–5% of Ohio schools in each of the last three reported years: 48th of 1,560 (97th percentile) in 2025–2026, 80th of 1,558 (95th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 36th of 1,577 (98th percentile) in 2023–2024. Its test scores are above the Ohio average in every listed test in both years, averaging 86.5% versus the state's 60.2% in 2025–2026 and 87.3% versus 59.2% in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, 4th grade math and English language arts each reached 98% proficiency. It also generally outperforms its own district, exceeding district proficiency in 12 of 15 listed tests in 2025–2026 and 14 of 15 in 2024–2025, though 5th grade science, 8th grade science, and 8th grade math came in slightly behind district levels while still topping the state.
Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 0.9, compared with the district's 4.9. The school reports 6.8% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, with per-student spending of $8,785 in 2018–2019. Grade-level results do swing from year to year — Algebra I moved from 100% to 87.5%, and 8th grade math fell 14 points — but such changes likely reflect cohort differences, and every listed score remains above state averages.
