Summary

Monfort Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 575 students in grades K-5 in the Northwest Local School District in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, but its academic performance stands out, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests across various grade levels and subjects.

Monfort Heights Elementary particularly excels in math and English Language Arts, with its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state levels. The school also boasts strong performance among its African American and multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the top 100 Ohio elementary schools for these groups. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25 Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 18.9% in 2024-2025 to 36.5% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's special education and gifted and talented student subgroups appear to be underperforming compared to other Ohio elementary schools, an area the school and district may need to address. Despite these challenges, Monfort Heights Elementary remains a strong-performing school, outpacing the nearby Struble Elementary School in the Northwest Local district, though it lags behind the higher-performing Charles W. Springmyer Elementary and Oakdale Elementary in the Oak Hills Local district.
