Dayton Early College Academy Inc

Dayton Early College Academy Inc is a single-school district in Dayton, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 327 students; because it is the only school in the district, there are no local peers to compare against, so the useful comparisons are to Ohio state averages and to the school's own prior year. The campus sits at 1529 Brown St, in a ZIP code on the University of Dayton campus, which fits its early-college model, and it enrolls roughly 21 teachers for a student–teacher ratio of about 15.5.

Dayton Early College Academy Inc performs like two schools in one. Its humanities and biology results are excellent: American Government reached 98.5% proficient against 71.6% statewide, English II 83.3% versus 62.7%, American History 87.2% versus 73.2%, and Biology 77.9% versus 67.0%. Together, those non-math subjects average 86.7% proficient, about 18 points above the state. English II also posted the biggest one-year gain of any subject, up 12.0 points, and Government rose 6.8 points while the state slipped. The school graduates 93.0% of its students, and chronic absenteeism stands at 16.2% — about 1 in 6 students missing 10% or more of school days, a moderate figure with no state benchmark provided in this data.

Math is the clear weak spot. Geometry came in at 27.1% proficient versus 43.3% statewide, a drop of 20.8 points from 47.9% the year before, moving from 5.1 points above the state to 16.2 points below it in a single year. Algebra I was 43.2% versus 61.6%, the largest gap to the state of any subject and essentially flat year over year. Across both math subjects the school averages 35.2%, roughly 17 points below the state, while the state's own math scores barely moved — so this decline is school-specific. The school holds a 3-star rating (303rd of 795 ranked Ohio high schools, 62nd percentile), down slightly from 67th percentile the previous year. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and the only spending figure, $8,975 per student, is from 2018–2019 and predates these results by several years.
