Summary:
Elementary schools in New Miami Local amount to exactly one school: New Miami Elementary School, a PK–5 building with 292 students in Hamilton, Ohio. Because it is the district's only elementary school, there are no in-district peers to compare it against — the meaningful yardsticks are how the school changes year to year and how it stacks up against Ohio averages overall.
The most encouraging news is that every tested measure improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — all seven of them — averaging a gain of about 10.5 percentage points. Fourth-grade math rose from 35.7% to 50.0% and fifth-grade math from 18.9% to 32.6%; ELA and science gained similarly. Since the state average barely moved (63.5% to 63.8%), the school closed roughly half its gap to the state in a single year. Even so, its all-subject average of 43.8% trails the state's 63.8%, with the widest shortfalls in fifth-grade science (34.8% vs 62.7%) and fifth-grade math (32.6% vs 59.1%).
Ranked 1,214 of 1,560 (22nd percentile) with a 1-star rating, the school climbed 136 places but still sits below its 2023–24 mark, while New Miami Local itself ranks 656 of 773. Chronic absenteeism is 41.0% — better than the district's 44.7%, yet still meaning roughly two in five students miss enough school to be classified chronically absent. A 12.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio is a genuine strength. Spending is reported only for 2018–19 ($10,320) and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, so it is too early to say whether this improvement is a durable trend.
