Summary

Bond Hill Academy is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 297 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bond Hill Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 43.5% to 64.8% in recent years. Academically, the school's students perform well below state and district averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 38.7% in the district and 63.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Bond Hill Academy to nearby schools, the performance gap is quite stark. For instance, North Avondale Montessori School and St. Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School, which are within a few miles of Bond Hill Academy, significantly outperform the school on state assessments. Despite the low performance, Bond Hill Academy's per-student spending of $11,246 in 2018-2019 was relatively high compared to the state average, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning.
