Summary:
New Richmond Exempted Village is a four-school Ohio district serving roughly 1,878 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, located in a small-town Clermont County community east of Cincinnati. The district ranks 401st of 773 Ohio districts — the 48th percentile — and holds a 2-star rating, while individual schools range from the 45th percentile at the high school to the 60th at Monroe Elementary.
The two elementary schools are the district's strongest performers. Monroe Elementary School ranks 60th percentile with 3 stars, posting 83.3% proficiency in 5th grade ELA versus 70.4% statewide and 80% in 4th grade Math versus 67.3% statewide. Locust Corner Elementary School also earns 3 stars and ranks 55th percentile, with the district's best 5th grade Science score at 80% versus 62.7% statewide. New Richmond Middle School has a standout 100% proficiency in Algebra I End of Course versus 61.6% statewide — though that likely reflects a small advanced group — while New Richmond High School has the district's highest graduation rate at 97.4% and strong Biology and Geometry results, yet ranks lowest at the 45th percentile.
The clearest shared weakness is math. Both elementaries fall short of the state in 3rd grade Math — Monroe at 52.1% and Locust Corner at 48.6% versus 62.1% statewide — and middle school general math is well below state averages at 38.1% in 7th grade and 36.5% in 8th grade. High school Algebra I sits at 56.5%, down 9.9 points. Chronic absenteeism is concentrated at the high school at 25.0%, against 14.9% at the middle school. Every school ranked lower in 2025-26 than in 2023-24, so these trends are worth watching.
