Edgerton Elementary School, Edgerton OH

Original Research by School Decision on Edgerton Elementary School

Edgerton Elementary School is a small K-6 building in a working-class village in the far northwest corner of Ohio. The school enrolls about a quarter thousand students, with roughly half qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and the student body predominantly white, reflecting the village's demographics. State test results show solid performance in math and science, with about nine in ten students proficient in math and the same proportion proficient in science on recent tests. English language arts proficiency is somewhat lower at about four in five students. The school sits in the top quartile for overall proficiency compared to other districts in Williams County.

Edgerton itself is a small village of about a thousand people on U.S. Route 6, with a blue-collar and farming economy centered on local manufacturing, production work, and small business. The median home value is modestly below the Ohio state average, and residents work in production, manufacturing, sales, office jobs, and education. A new community center broke ground in 2025 with a mid-2026 completion date, and the village is undertaking water treatment plant upgrades and connector road work. The Williams County Port Authority, chaired in part by Edgerton's village administrator, has emerged as the county's largest homebuilder and is planning a large senior living community, the first major development of its kind in the county in years.

Civic life is concentrated in the village footprint. The school sits near downtown rather than at a distance, and residents describe homes as "close to school and downtown." Miller Park, an eighty-acre public park with pavilions, sports facilities, and trails, anchors community gathering. The village operates its own electric, water, and sewer utilities as part of a municipal power cooperative. Population has been flat to slightly declining over recent years.

The school participates in Ohio's state testing program for grades three through six. Proficiency data are available only for the most recent school year, so trend comparisons across multiple years are not possible with the current data. English learner enrollment and special education counts were not reported. The district brief found no major curriculum changes, bond measures, or property-tax shifts in recent years, though a new bus barn was under construction during 2025-2026.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
