Summary

Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy is a K–8 school in Middletown, Ohio serving 366 students, ranked 1,113 of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–26 (29th percentile, 1 star) — long-term bottom-quartile territory. It trails nearby Madison Elementary School (66th percentile, 3 stars), Miller Ridge Elementary School (34th percentile, 2 stars) and Mayfield Elementary School (30th percentile, 2 stars), but outranks Rosa Parks Elementary School, Wildwood Elementary School, Summit Acdy Community School for Alternative Learners of Middletown, Amanda Elementary School and Central Academy Elementary School, and sits close to Creekview Elementary School. Because it serves grades 7–8 while most neighbors end at grade 5 or 6, middle-grade results can only be compared with state averages.

Test results split sharply. Fifth-grade math (69.4% proficient) and eighth-grade math (56%) beat state averages, and fourth-grade math and ELA are competitive locally. But sixth-grade math (10%) and sixth-grade ELA (16.7%) are far below state and the lowest among nearby schools with sixth grade, while seventh-grade math (16.7%) and ELA (23.3%) are also well below. Chronic absenteeism, at 44.9% in 2025–26, exceeds the Middletown City district average of 37.6% and nearly every nearby school; after improving to 38.0% in 2023–24, it has risen two years in a row.

Effectiveness rankings for African American students (71st percentile, 4 stars) and special education students (71st percentile, 4 stars) sit well above the school's overall standing, while male students (22nd percentile) and low-income students (32nd percentile) rank lower. The 2025–26 rank of 29th percentile improves on 24th but remains below the 2023–24 peak of 37th. Attendance and middle-grade instruction look like the highest-leverage targets, alongside protecting the early-elementary and 8th-grade math gains.
