Summary

Bond Hill Academy is a PK–6 elementary school at 1510 California Ave in Cincinnati's Bond Hill neighborhood, serving 296 students as part of Cincinnati Public Schools. It ranks 1,452nd of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–26 (7th percentile, 0 stars), and the district itself ranks 609th of 773 Ohio districts — a bottom-tier school inside a district that is also below the state norm.

On the 2025–26 Ohio State Tests, average proficiency was about 13.9% in math, about 30.6% in English language arts, and 15.2% in 5th grade science — roughly half the state average in each subject. ELA is consistently the stronger area: 4th grade ELA reached 45.7%, close to the district's 47.0%, while the weakest results were 6th grade math at 3.3% and 6th grade ELA at 10%. Bond Hill's closest neighbors look similar — Horizon Science Academy-Cincinnati is in the 3rd percentile and ReGeneration Bond Hill in the 15th. The stronger nearby schools, such as Sharpsburg Elementary (45th percentile, 2 stars) and Williams Avenue Elementary School (43rd percentile, 2 stars), are 1.5–1.9 miles away and sit in different districts such as Norwood City and St Bernard-Elmwood Place City.

Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest difference: 60.2% of Bond Hill students were chronically absent in 2025–26, about 16 points above the district's 44.6% and far above Norwood View Elementary School (29.6%), Carthage (28.8%), St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School (23.5%), Williams Avenue Elementary School (20.1%), and The Norwood Montessori School (12.4%). Bond Hill's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is the best among its Cincinnati Public Schools comparison schools, so smaller classes are not translating into higher scores — attendance appears to be the biggest single lever. Two caveats: free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for every year shown, and the most recent per-pupil spending figure dates to 2018–19.
