Elementary Schools in Middletown City

Middletown City contains seven elementary schools serving roughly 2,961 students, with individual enrollments ranging from 349 to 503. Six of the schools serve grades PK–6, while Central Academy Elementary School serves K–6. The district overall ranks 660 of 773 Ohio districts — the 15th percentile — with 1 star, so all of these schools operate in a district-wide context of below-average results.

Miller Ridge Elementary School and Mayfield Elementary School are the clear bright spots: they are the only two schools with 2 stars, the highest overall proficiency averages (51.6% and 46.8%), and the lowest chronic absenteeism. Miller Ridge has the strongest math, and Mayfield the strongest science and a standout 5th grade ELA score of 75.0%. Creekview Elementary School performs above the district in math and ELA, and Central Academy has a bright spot in 4th grade ELA at 67.4%. At the other end, Rosa Parks Elementary School is the lowest performer — 0 stars, 7th percentile, the highest absenteeism at 46.7%, and the lowest scores in every subject. Wildwood Elementary School also struggles despite having the highest per-student spending and the largest classes.

No school here matches the state's overall proficiency average of 62.1%, though Miller Ridge and Mayfield come closest. Science shows the sharpest divide: Mayfield (66.1%) and Miller Ridge (65.7%) exceed the state's 62.7%, while the next closest school is far lower. Grade 6 math is a district-wide weak spot, well below the state. Chronic absenteeism generally tracks with performance — the lowest-absenteeism schools score highest. Notably, spending and class size do not explain results: Amanda Elementary School has the smallest classes yet below-district proficiency. Trends are mixed, with Mayfield and Creekview improving while Amanda has declined. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, so poverty's relationship to these results cannot be assessed.
