Minster Elementary School serves 486 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Minster, Ohio, earning a composite score of 9.0/10 — a rating School Scout labels Exceptional. The school ranks 52nd out of 3,440 public schools statewide, placing it in the top 2% of Ohio schools. Among the state's 1,742 elementary schools specifically, it sits 25th — a position that reflects sustained, system-wide performance rather than a single strong year.

At a 16.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, class sizes stay manageable — a structural factor that supports the kind of consistent, individualized instruction these scores reflect.
