Summary

College Hill Fundamental Academy is a public elementary school serving 433 students in grades PK-6 in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, located in the College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. According to the data, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

College Hill Fundamental Academy faces significant challenges, with very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.8% to 46.0% in recent years, well above the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is also well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.6% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 38.7% for the district and 63.4% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, with the school's rankings for African American, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Cincinnati Public Schools district, such as Mt. Airy School, Winton Hills Academy, and Pleasant Hill Academy, also perform poorly and have similar low rankings and academic proficiency rates, suggesting a broader systemic issue within the district. In contrast, the nearby Struble Elementary school in the Northwest Local district performs significantly better than College Hill Fundamental Academy and the other Cincinnati Public Schools.
