Elementary Schools in New Miami Local

The New Miami Local district in Ohio has only one elementary school, New Miami Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools in recent years.

New Miami Elementary School's performance on state tests is significantly below the state average across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.3% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's performance in Mathematics and English Language Arts is also well below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6%, which is much higher than the state average.

The data suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is relatively low, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the root causes of the school's persistent challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, will be crucial in order to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for the children attending New Miami Elementary School.
