Original Research by School Decision on Frank Elementary School
Frank Elementary School serves kindergarten through fourth grade in Perrysburg, a growing suburb northwest of Toledo that has roughly doubled in size over the past two decades. The school enrolls roughly four hundred eighty students, with a composition that is predominantly white, though enrollment includes Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial families. A small share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a relatively affluent school community. Data on special education and English learner enrollment is not available.
In recent state testing, Frank Elementary's students show solid performance in mathematics, with most students achieving proficiency. English language arts proficiency is somewhat lower, though still above the midpoint. Both results place the school in the top quartile for overall proficiency when compared to districts across Wood County. Science testing data from an earlier year showed strong performance as well. Notably, only one year of comparable state test results is available, so it is not possible to see whether performance is stable, improving, or declining.
The school sits within Perrysburg Exempted Village, a district serving Perrysburg and Maumee that has navigated significant fiscal strain in recent years. After voters rejected operating levies twice, they approved a five-year emergency operating levy in November 2025, which reversed a substantial budget shortfall and preserved athletics, extracurriculars, foreign language instruction, reading intervention, and K-12 STEM programs. In February 2025, the district implemented elementary redistricting, reassigning roughly one-third of elementary students among the four K-4 buildings, including Frank, to balance enrollment and consolidate bus routes. This redraw of attendance boundaries means a family's neighborhood assignment to a particular elementary can shift when redistricting occurs.
Perrysburg itself is a mixed community. The historic downtown along Louisiana Avenue has walkable blocks with independent shops, cafes, and the Way Public Library, while Levis Commons, a large open-air mixed-use district, offers additional walkability and shops. Away from these two nodes, the city is car-dependent. The housing market is relatively affluent, with median home values well above the state benchmark and strong year-over-year appreciation. Rents are also rising. The city is growing through new residential development, including a planned community west of town with hundreds of new homes scheduled to complete in coming years, which will continue to put pressure on schools. A bond levy for a new elementary school failed in 2024, so growth-driven enrollment increases are being managed through redistricting rather than new building. The area's major employers include O-I Glass, Mercy Hospital, and various manufacturers, alongside Owens Community College in the township.
Frank Elementary's small share of economically disadvantaged students and solid math proficiency suggest a school oriented toward families in the established, higher-income neighborhoods of Perrysburg. The recent redistricting and ongoing growth in the district are practical factors for families to monitor as they consider enrollment stability and busing over time.
