Summary:
Sycamore Community City is a seven-school suburban Ohio district serving about 6,051 students across four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, and it ranks 38th of 773 Ohio districts — the 95th percentile with five stars.
The elementary tier is the district's clear strength, with every school ranked between the 93rd and 98th percentile. Montgomery Elementary School is the consistent top performer: 30th of 1,560 schools (98th percentile) in 2025–2026, plus the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 2.9%, lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 13.96%, and highest per-student spending at $13,647. Maple Dale Elementary School follows at 47th (97th percentile) with the district's strongest fourth-grade results — 96.7 in math and 94.8 in ELA. Symmes Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 85th to the 93rd percentile, and does so with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (26.52%) while keeping absenteeism low at 4.7%.
Middle and high school results are strong but more uneven. Sycamore Junior High School posts perfect scores in Geometry and Algebra I, yet 7th-grade math is a clear weakness at 59.7, below the district's 77.2. Sycamore High School, the largest school at 1,678 students, has a 96.5% graduation rate and above-state scores in every reported subject, but its rank slipped from 45th of 864 to 94th of 795 (88th percentile, four stars), and it has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 16.7% versus 9.3% districtwide. Absenteeism rises sharply by level — elementaries average about 4.45%, middle schools about 8.65%. Every reported school test score beats the state average, and spending shows no simple link to performance.
