Public, Charter Grades K-8

1256^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Klepinger Community School is a K–8 school serving 540 students in Dayton, Ohio, and in 2025–26 it ranked 1,256th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 19th percentile — with 1 star, placing it 651st of 773 schools in its district. Among 11 comparable nearby schools it finished fourth, ahead of Belle Haven Elementary School, Horizon Science Academy-Dayton, Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy, Richard Allen Preparatory, Westwood Elementary School, Fairview Elementary School, and Valerie Elementary School, but behind North Dayton School of Discovery and Deca Prep.

The school's recent trajectory is clearly upward, though from a very low base. Its state rank improved from 1,508th of 1,596 (6th percentile) in 2022–23 to 1,256th of 1,560 in 2025–26. The biggest change is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 71.7% in 2022–23 to 27.2% in 2025–26, a dramatic turnaround that now beats most nearby schools, though it trails Deca Prep (23.9%) and Belle Haven Elementary School (24.2%). Even so, Klepinger remains a 1-star school and still ranks below its 2015–2019 range of roughly the 23rd–26th percentile.

Academically, the picture is uneven. Math in grades 5–7 is a real strength: 6th-grade math reached 70.4%, above the state's 56.2%, while 5th- and 7th-grade math also beat or neared state rates and led nearby schools. Science is an urgent weakness, with 5th grade at 2.5% and 8th grade at 6.8% against state rates near 62%, and ELA sits below the state at every tested grade. Klepinger also has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (38.5, versus 20.7 at the next highest, Westwood Elementary School) and the lowest per-student spending in the available year, $7,203 in 2018–19.
