Summary:
There is one school in this area: Horizon Science Academy-Cincinnati, a charter elementary serving grades K–8 with 209 students at 1055 Laidlaw Ave in Cincinnati (45237). It reports as its own district, Horizon Science Academy-Cincinnati. Class sizes are small, with a student–teacher ratio of 8.3, and per-student spending is listed at $8,783 (2018–2019, the most recent figure available). More than half the student body, 53.2%, is chronically absent.
Academically, the school trails Ohio by a wide margin. Averaged across all subjects, proficiency was 16.6% in 2025–2026 against a state average of 60.1%, a gap of about 44 points, and the school ranks in the 3rd percentile of Ohio districts with 0 stars for a third straight year. The brightest results are in 8th grade math, which reached 43.5% in 2024–2025 versus a state average of 47.6% — the narrowest gap anywhere in the data — and 5th grade English Language Arts at 38.1%. The deepest concerns are 3rd and 4th grade math, both reported at exactly 0% proficient against state averages of 62.1% and 67.3%, and 8th grade science at 8.6% versus 61.2%.
English Language Arts is the one subject improving year over year (19.9% to 23.6%) and the only one narrowing its gap to the state. Science is the weakest subject overall. Because grade levels are small, roughly 20–25 students each, single-year swings should be read as directional signals rather than proof of instructional change — the strong 8th grade results in 2024–2025 did not repeat with the next cohort of students. The 53.2% chronic absenteeism rate is the most important context for these scores, since a majority of students are not regularly in the school's small classes. Spending data is seven years old and no free/reduced-lunch figure is reported, so family economic context cannot be assessed from this data.
