Summary:
Horizon Science Academy Dayton Downtown is the only school in this Horizon Science Academy Dayton Downtown listing, so parents should read its numbers as a single-school profile rather than a comparison across schools. It is an elementary school in Dayton, Ohio (121 S Monmouth St) serving grades K–8 with 188 students. Reported context includes a 17:1 student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025, per-student spending of $7,994 from 2018–2019, and a free/reduced lunch figure that is blank or not available, so poverty context cannot be judged from this record. With only 188 students across nine grades, grade-level results may rest on small groups.
The school's ranking data point to a persistently low position. Its district rank is 742 of 773 (4th percentile, 0 stars), and its school rank held at the 9th percentile in both 2025–2026 (1416 of 1560) and 2024–2025 (1415 of 1558), after the 8th percentile in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism for 2025–2026 is 59.3%, meaning nearly three in five students were chronically absent. Test results mirror these challenges: across all 14 tested grade/subject combinations in 2025–2026, the school averaged about 18.6% proficient versus roughly 60.1% statewide. Math averaged about 10% (state 57.6%), science about 13.7% (state 62%), and English Language Arts about 29% (state 62.1%).
The clearest bright spot is 5th grade English Language Arts, where 59.1% of students were proficient against a state average of 70.4%, an 11.3-point gap and a sharp rise from 26.7% the prior year. Seventh grade math improved from 5% to 15%, and 6th grade math rose from 11.8% to 16.7%. However, 8th grade posted 0% in math and 0% in science, and 3rd grade math fell to 0% from 25%. Individual grade swings in a school this small can reflect small-group volatility as much as real change.
