Summary:

The city of Kettering, Ohio is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The Kettering City School District serves a diverse student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 16.06% at Dayton Regional STEM School to 72.49% at Greenmont Elementary School.

Two schools stand out in the district: Dayton Regional STEM School, a high school ranked 12th out of 855 Ohio high schools with a 5-star rating and exceptional test scores, and Prass Elementary School, ranked 75th out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools with a 5-star rating and consistently high performance on state tests. The district's focus on STEM education appears to be paying off, with Dayton Regional STEM School leading the way.

While the district overall performs well, the data reveals some areas for improvement, such as addressing performance gaps between schools and supporting students during the transition from elementary to middle school. For example, Beavertown Elementary School has significantly lower proficiency rates in 3rd grade math and English language arts compared to other elementary schools in the district. Additionally, many students experience a dip in performance as they move from elementary to middle school, with lower proficiency rates in 6th and 8th grade math and English language arts.
