Summary:
Deca Prep is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Dayton, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 938 students. The school is ranked 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and is ranked 585 out of 828 school districts in Ohio.
While Deca Prep excels in Algebra I with a proficiency rate of 89.5% compared to the state average of 59.4%, its performance in other subjects, particularly mathematics and science, is significantly below the state averages. For example, in 5th grade science, Deca Prep's proficiency rate was 46.4% compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.4% is also a significant concern and may be contributing to its overall academic performance.
Deca Prep's statewide ranking has been declining over the past three school years, from 1060 out of 1577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1109 out of 1558 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests that the school may be falling behind its peers, and it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for its students.
