Summary:
Dayton SMART Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the data set, serving grades K-6 in Dayton, Ohio. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other Ohio elementary schools, ranking in the bottom 25% of the state over the past three years. With low proficiency rates in core subjects and a high chronic absenteeism rate, the school faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its 84 students.
Dayton SMART Elementary School's performance on state assessments has been consistently below the state average. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were just 0% in 5th grade Science, 21.4% in 4th grade Math, and 10% in 5th grade Math, all well below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate reached 40.2% in the same year, further hindering student learning and achievement.
Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, the school's per-student spending of $7,047 in 2018-2019 may be a contributing factor to its struggles. The combination of low academic performance, high absenteeism, and potential resource allocation challenges suggests that Dayton SMART Elementary School requires targeted interventions and support to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
