Summary:
Miami Valley Academies is the only school serving this Dayton, Ohio area — a single school classified as Elementary but actually spanning kindergarten through 8th grade, enrolling 118 students.
On 2025–2026 state tests, Miami Valley Academies showed its clearest strengths in English Language Arts: 3rd grade ELA was 78.6% proficient against a state average of 63.4% (15.2 points above), and 8th grade ELA was 60% versus 58.3% (1.7 points above). The school also improved sharply year over year — its simple average across reported tests climbed from 16.0% in 2024–2025 to 38.0% in 2025–2026, while the comparable state average stayed near 60%. Several grades posted large same-grade gains: 3rd grade ELA from 38.9% to 78.6%, 8th grade ELA from 18.2% to 60%, 3rd grade math from 11.1% to 42.9%, and 8th grade math from 9.1% to 30%. The district rank moved from 5th percentile with 0 stars to 22nd percentile with 1 star, though the school still sits in the bottom quartile at 649 of 773.
Concerns remain. Math and science trail well behind the state — every reported 2025–2026 math grade was below average, with gaps ranging from about 19 to 44 percentage points (4th grade math 23.5% vs. 67.3% state; 6th grade math 20% vs. 56.2%; 8th grade science 30% vs. 61.2%). Chronic absenteeism was 46.7% in 2025–2026, meaning nearly half of students were chronically absent. Free/reduced lunch was not reported, so it is unknown, and the per-student spending figure of $7,475 is from 2018–2019. Because enrollment is small at 118 students, grade-level percentages can swing widely year to year, and no 5th or 7th grade results were reported for 2025–2026.
