City Day Community School

City Day Community School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Dayton, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 182 students. Based on the available data, this school is performing well below average compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking 1480 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 67.0%, consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high student-teacher ratio of 60.6 to 1. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.7% of 5th-grade students at City Day Community School were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $7,629, which is lower than the state average.

Given the consistently poor performance of City Day Community School, significant improvements are needed across multiple areas to ensure the school is providing a high-quality education and preparing its students for success. The City Day Community School district and school leadership should prioritize strategies to address attendance issues, improve test scores, and provide more resources and support for teachers to create a more effective learning environment for the students.
