Summary:
Springboro, Ohio has two elementary schools serving about 1,700 students in the Springboro Community City district, split by grade band so that Clearcreek Elementary School covers PK–1 and Dennis covers grades 2–5.
The district is one of Ohio's strongest, rated 5 stars and ranked 65th of 773 districts statewide, or the 92nd percentile. Within that context, Dennis is the clear academic standout in the available test data, holding a 4-star rating and ranking between the 83rd and 87th percentile of Ohio elementary schools over the last three years — consistent performance rather than a one-year spike. It scored above the state average in every reported subject and grade in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025. Its 6th-grade math proficiency was 100% in both years, well above the district's 85.2% and 79.2% and the state's 56.2% and 51.9%, though parents should note the school is listed as serving grades 2–5, so this may reflect an accelerated grouping or a reporting quirk. Even so, Dennis was below its own district average in most subjects — it beat the district in only two of eight 2025–2026 tests — which says more about how strong the district is than about any weakness at the school.
Clearcreek Elementary School has no state test scores in this data because it serves PK–1, so it cannot be compared academically with Dennis. Its strengths show up elsewhere: the lowest chronic absenteeism of the two at 5.7% (versus 6.6% at Dennis and 8.2% districtwide) and a low free/reduced lunch rate of 6.59%. Enrollment at the two schools is nearly identical, but staffing and spending differ: Dennis has a student-teacher ratio of 18.2 and per-student spending of $10,104, while Clearcreek Elementary School has a ratio of 22.0 and spending of $7,925 (spending data is from 2018–2019).
