Summary:

There is one public school in this area: City Day Community School, a K–8 elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, with 170 students. It is part of the City Day Community School district. The district ranks 747 of 773 districts, in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, and the school ranks 1510 of 1560 schools in 2025–2026, also in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. For parents, this means the school is among Ohio’s lowest-ranked. Enrollment is small across K–8, so grade-level results are based on few students and can swing widely from year to year.

In 2025–2026, every reported Ohio State Test area was below the state average. The smallest gap was 8th grade English Language Arts, where 41.7% of students were proficient, compared with 58.3% statewide. The largest gap was 5th grade Mathematics, at 0% proficient compared with 59.1% statewide; that subject was also 0% in 2024–2025. Mathematics is the clearest weakness overall, with proficiency ranging from 0% in 5th grade to 16.7% in 8th grade. English Language Arts is comparatively stronger in the upper grades: 5th grade ELA improved from 20% to 35.3%, 4th grade ELA held near 31%, but 3rd grade ELA remained very low at 8.3%.

Of 14 tested areas, 8 improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, 1 stayed flat, and 5 declined. Relative to the state, gaps narrowed in 7 areas and widened in 7, so there is no consistent pattern of closing the statewide gap. Chronic absenteeism is very high at 56.7% in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 24.2 in 2024–2025, suggesting a high student load per teacher, though no state comparator is included. Per-student spending was $7,629 in 2018–2019, far older than the achievement data, and the free/reduced lunch percentage is unknown, so it should not be read as zero. Overall, the school has some upper-grade ELA strengths and uneven year-over-year gains, but it remains far below state averages with major absenteeism concerns.
