Summary:
The Huber Heights City school district in Ohio consists of 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the majority of these schools have struggled to meet state academic standards, a few standout institutions like Charles Huber Elementary School and Rushmore Elementary School have consistently outperformed their peers and the state averages in key subject areas.
Charles Huber Elementary School is the top-performing school in the district, ranking between 893-946 out of 1,558-1,596 Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school has outperformed the district and state averages in most subject areas, particularly in mathematics, and has the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 40.82%. Rushmore Elementary School has also performed well, ranking between 881-989 out of 1,558-1,596 Ohio elementary schools, and excelling in English Language Arts with 5th-grade students scoring 66.3% proficient or better, compared to the district average of 61% and state average of 67.7%.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of 28.3%, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.82% to 52.19%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the district's spending per student is close to the state average, the overall academic performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and the sharing of best practices across the Huber Heights City school system.
