Summary

Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 311 students in grades K-8 in Middletown, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating poor overall performance.

Middletown Preparatory has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.8% to 55.8% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are also well below state and local district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade science proficiency was 11.4% compared to the state average of 63.4%. However, the school does show some bright spots in its performance for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student populations.

Compared to the nearby Middletown City district schools, such as Creekview Elementary, Miller Ridge Elementary, and Wildwood Elementary, Middletown Preparatory is underperforming on most metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and state rankings. The charter school's spending per student of $7,346 in 2018-2019 is also lower than most of the nearby district schools, which range from $7,127 to $9,271 per student.
