Loveland City

Loveland City serves about 4,041 students across six schools — three elementary, two middle, and one high school, with no alternative schools — spanning PK through grade 12, and the district ranks 42nd of 773 in Ohio at the 95th percentile with 5 stars. Loveland High School is the largest campus at 1,203 students (about 30% of enrollment), followed by Loveland Intermediate School (643, grades 4–6), Loveland Middle School (624, grades 7–9), Loveland Elementary School (617, grades 3–4), Loveland Primary School (595, grades 1–2), and Loveland Early Childhood Center (359, PK–K).

Academically, every reported school-level test score in both years beats the state proficiency rate, often by 20 to 38 percentage points. Loveland Middle School is the clearest standout: 100% proficient in Algebra I in both 2025–26 and 2024–25 against state rates near 60%, a rank climb from 109th of 1,036 with 4 stars to 54th of 1,046 at the 95th percentile with 5 stars, 8th-grade math up from 60.1% to 74.2%, and the district's lowest student-teacher ratio at 19.1. Loveland High School holds a steady 5-star rank and posts 91.8 in American History, 89.4 in Government and Biology, and 87.9 in English II for 2025–26, with a 97.8% graduation rate. Loveland Intermediate School has the best attendance at 8.3% chronic absenteeism and strong 5th-grade results — ELA 93.6%, Science 89.9%, Math 88.8%.

Two items are worth watching. Loveland High School has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 17.3%, well above the district's 12.7% and Intermediate's 8.3%; since it enrolls nearly 30% of students, it lifts the district average. Loveland Elementary School softened, with 4th-grade math down from 91.8 to 85.9 and 4th-grade ELA from 87.4 to 83.0; its rank slipped from 137th to 189th, still 88th percentile with 4 stars. Keep in mind that test scores and absenteeism are mostly 2025–26, free/reduced lunch and student-teacher ratios are 2024–25, spending is 2018–19, and PK–2 schools have no state test scores.
