Summary:
Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy is the only school in this area — a single building of 336 students in Trotwood, Ohio (3100 Shiloh Springs Rd) that also operates as its own one-school district, Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy. It is classified as an elementary school but actually serves grades K–8, with roughly 35–40 students per grade, a student–teacher ratio of 15.2 (about 22 teachers), and a 1-star state rating, ranking 624th of 773 districts.
Overall, 41.8% of tested areas reached proficiency in 2025–2026 against a 60.1% state average — about 18 points behind, though that gap narrowed sharply from 26.9 points the year before, when the school averaged 32.3% versus the state's 59.2%. Math is the bright spot and is close to par (54.1% vs. 57.6% statewide), while English Language Arts (43.4% vs. 60.0%) and Science (36.1% vs. 62.0%) lag well behind. Chronic absenteeism stands at 71.6%, meaning nearly three in four students miss substantial instruction.
Grade-level results vary enormously. Math in grade 7 is the only above-state result at 58.8% vs. 48.6%, and grade 8 Science leapt from 14.8% to 55.0% in one year, with that same group also rising in Math and ELA. ELA in grade 3 (59.3% vs. 63.4%) is the school's most consistently near-average area. The sharpest weaknesses are ELA in grade 6 (13.6% vs. 56.0%) and Science in grade 5, which stayed low in both years (14.3%, then 17.2%). Gains are concentrated in grades 6–8 and declines in grades 3–5, so results should be read as directional — and note that per-student spending ($7,712) dates to 2018–2019 and free/reduced lunch data is unavailable.
