Kettering City School District

Summary:

The Kettering City School District in Ohio consists of 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district is ranked 180 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out as top performers, including Prass Elementary School, which is ranked 223 out of 1,558 Ohio elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars, and Orchard Park Elementary School, which is ranked 225 out of 1,558 and also rated 4 out of 5 stars. These schools have consistently high test scores, with strong performance across multiple grade levels. Another standout is Indian Riffle Elementary School, which is ranked 261 out of 1,558 and has particularly high Math and English Language Arts scores.

While the district generally outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, there are some areas for improvement. The district's high school, Kettering Fairmont High School, has a strong 94.1% four-year graduation rate, but its statewide ranking and test scores suggest room for improvement compared to the top-performing elementary and middle schools. Additionally, the district as a whole has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3%, which is an area that needs to be addressed.
