Summary

Dublin Preparatory Academy dba Northside Preparatory Academy is a K–8 school in Cincinnati, OH, serving 274 students as its own district. In 2025–2026 it ranks 1,047 of 1,560 Ohio schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranks 462 of 773 (40th percentile, 2 stars). The school's trajectory is strongly positive even though it remains below the state median: its statewide rank percentile climbed from 4th in 2022–2023 to 33rd in 2025–2026, with stars rising from 0 to 2.

Math in grades 4–8 is the clearest strength. Northside averages about 82.6% proficient across those grades versus roughly 56.6% statewide — 4th grade math posts 90.5% versus Ohio's 67.3%, ahead of Fairview-Clifton German Language School (84.1%) and far ahead of Clifton Area Neighborhood School (60.5%), Chase School (30.0%), and Horizon Science Academy-Cincinnati (0%). English Language Arts is the weak spot, averaging about 41.6% proficient across grades 3–8 versus 62.1% statewide; only 7th grade (65.2%) tops the state. Third grade is low in both math (38.5% vs 62.1%) and ELA (26.9% vs 63.4%), and 5th grade science (30.4% vs 62.7%) trails nearby schools such as Fairview-Clifton (76.8%) and Parker Woods Montessori School (57.6%), though 8th grade science (56.0% vs 61.2%) is closer to the state.

Chronic absenteeism remains the biggest systemic risk: 66.1% in 2025–2026, down from 79.5% the prior year but still second-highest among nearby schools behind Winton Hills Academy (69.4%) and well above the Cincinnati Public Schools rate of 44.6%. Among student groups, African American students rank in the 66th percentile with 3 stars — a relative strength — while male students rank in the 16th percentile with 1 star, below female students at the 44th percentile. Overall, the school shows momentum in math and needs to address attendance, ELA, and early-grade readiness to improve further.
