Summary:
The Niles Preparatory Academy area in Niles, Ohio (44446) contains a single elementary school — Niles Preparatory Academy — serving grades K–5 with 157 students; there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this Niles Preparatory Academy district list, so parents should compare it against Ohio state averages and its own prior-year results.
Academically, the school was above the state in 5 of 7 tested areas in 2025–26. Its standout result is 5th grade science at 100% proficient versus the state's 62.7%, a +37.3 percentage-point advantage. Third grade math and English language arts both reached 95.8%, well above state figures of 62.1% and 63.4%, and 4th grade math hit 95% against 67.3%. The relative weak spots are 5th grade math at 45.5% versus the state's 59.1% (−13.6 points) and 4th grade English language arts at 55% versus 61.8% (−6.8 points), while 5th grade ELA was slightly above the state at 72.7% versus 70.4%. In 2024–25, all four reported tested areas were above state averages, including 3rd grade math and ELA at 90.9% and 4th grade math at 92.3%.
The school's rank moved from the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2023–24 to the 88th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–25, then to the 70th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26, so it remains above average but below its recent peak. Chronic absenteeism was 28.5% in 2025–26, meaning roughly 45 of 157 students were chronically absent — a notable watch item. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 17.4 students per teacher, and free/reduced lunch data was not reported, so economic context is unknown. Because the school is small, grade-level percentages can swing widely from year to year.
