Summary:
The area summary for Dayton Early College Academy Inc contains a single high school: Dayton Early College Academy Inc, located at 1529 Brown St, Dayton, OH 45469-0001, serving grades 9–12 with 327 students. Because there is only one school here, all area-wide conclusions are the same as the school-level conclusions.
The school's clear strengths are in social studies and English. In 2025–2026, 98.5% of students were proficient in American Government (state: 71.6%), 87.2% in American History (state: 73.2%), 83.3% in English II (state: 62.7%), and 77.9% in Biology (state: 67.0%). English II posted the biggest year-over-year gain, rising 12.0 percentage points from 71.3% and widening its lead over the state from +10.9 to +20.6 points. American Government also improved, from 91.7% to 98.5%, even as the state edged down. The graduation rate is a solid 93.0% for 2025–2026. In rankings, the school holds 3 stars and sits around the 62nd–63rd percentile, up from 59th in 2023–2024 but below its 67th-percentile peak in 2024–2025.
Mathematics is the main concern. Geometry fell sharply from 47.9% proficient in 2024–2025 (5.1 points above the state) to 27.1% in 2025–2026, which is 16.2 points below the state's 43.3% — a 20.8-point drop in one year. Algebra I was 43.2% proficient versus the state's 61.6%, and it has been below the state both years, with the gap widening from −14.8 to −18.4 points. Chronic absenteeism stands at 16.2%, meaning roughly one in six students missed enough school to be classified chronically absent. Some context is missing: the free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, per-student spending ($8,975) dates to 2018–2019, and the student–teacher ratio of 15.5 has no comparison. With 327 students across four grades, year-to-year test-score swings can also reflect small cohort sizes.
