Summary

Miami Valley Academies is a public charter elementary school serving 115 students in grades K-8 in Dayton, Ohio. The school is part of the Miami Valley Academies district, which is ranked 755 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Miami Valley Academies consistently performs significantly below the state average on Ohio state tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in 5th grade science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. This poor academic performance is also significantly lower than nearby public schools like Normandy Elementary, Dr. John Hole Elementary, and Southdale Elementary, which all have proficiency rates well above the state average.

Additionally, Miami Valley Academies struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching nearly 50% in the 2024-2025 school year. This is more than triple the rate of nearby schools like Normandy Elementary (14.9%) and Southdale Elementary (15.3%). The school also spends significantly less per student ($7,475) compared to nearby public schools like Normandy Elementary ($13,220 per student) and Dr. John Hole Elementary ($13,586 per student), which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in serving its high-needs student population effectively.
