Summary

W O Cline Elementary School is a grades 2–5 intermediate school serving 434 students in Centerville, Ohio (Montgomery County), part of the Centerville City district. It is not a neighborhood K–5 building: students arrive after first grade from Centerville Primary Village North and Centerville Primary Village South. Statewide it ranks 436th of 1,560 Ohio elementaries — 72nd percentile, 4 stars — and fourth of six in its district.

The school's history forms a V: strong results in 2015–16, a slide to the 50th percentile in 2018–19, a sharp recovery to 79th by 2022–23, then three straight years of mild decline to 72nd. Cline beats the Ohio average in all seven tested subjects by about 12 points but lands below its own district average in six of seven. The spread among district elementaries is unusually wide — Dr John Hole Elementary School averages 89.2 proficiency, Weller Elementary School 82.7, and Five Points in Springboro Community City 85.6, versus Cline's 76.3 — and it is not explained by money: Cline reports the highest per-student spending nearby ($14,260, 2018–19). Cline also serves more low-income students than the schools above it — 34.79% free/reduced lunch versus 17.26% at Weller and 20.74% at Dr John Hole — a share that has risen about 7 points in two years.

Two trends warrant attention. Chronic absenteeism was 4 points better than the district in 2023–24 but is now 16.1% against the district's 14.6%. And results have diverged between student groups: the school's highest-performing groups gained ground in 2025–26 while low-income students (41st percentile) and special education students (43rd) sit below the state median. Bright spots include a 9.7-point one-year jump in 5th grade math, science above the district average, and full gender parity.
