Summary:
Klepinger Community School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Dayton, Ohio. Despite being the only school in the area, the data paints a concerning picture of its performance, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past three years and struggling across key metrics.
Klepinger Community School has an enrollment of 541 students and faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.2% and alarmingly low test scores that are 30-50 percentage points behind the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the 64.4% state average, and just 7.7% of 8th graders were proficient in math versus the 47.6% state average.
The school's struggles are further compounded by its relatively low per-student spending of $7,203 and a high student-teacher ratio of 45:1, suggesting it may be underfunded and lacking the resources needed to support student learning. Overall, Klepinger Community School in the Klepinger Community School district faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students and requires substantial improvements across multiple areas to better serve the community.
