Summary

College Hill Academy is a PK–5 elementary school in the College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, part of Cincinnati Public Schools, located at 1625 Cedar Ave and serving 443 students.

By state measures, College Hill Academy is a bottom-quintile school: it ranks 1250 of 1560 Ohio elementary schools for 2025–2026 (20th percentile, 1 star), while Cincinnati Public Schools ranks 609 of 773 Ohio districts. On 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests, the school is below Ohio in every subject and grade shown. Its stronger relative results are 4th-grade math (46.3%), 5th-grade math (40.3%), and 4th-grade ELA (48.8%), where it is slightly above the district but still below the state. Its weakest results are 5th-grade science (20.5%), 3rd-grade math (37.3%), 3rd-grade ELA (46.7%), and 5th-grade ELA (45.2%). Compared with nearby schools, College Hill generally outperforms Mt. Airy School, Winton Hills Academy, Mt. Healthy South Elementary School, and North College Hill Elementary School in many tested grades, but trails Parker Woods Montessori School, Struble Elementary School, and Mt. Healthy Preparatory and Fitness Academy. Chronic absenteeism is 40.0%, lower than the district’s 44.6% and third-lowest among this nearby group, though it rose from 30.8% the prior year.

One clear strength is staffing: the student-teacher ratio was 14.9 in 2024–2025, better than many nearby schools. Spending per student was $11,339 in 2018–2019, higher than most nearby schools with data. Achievement trends are mixed: 5th-grade math and 4th-grade ELA have improved, but 5th-grade science remains persistently low. Special education students are a serious weakness, ranking at the 6th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026. Female students consistently rank higher than male students. Overall, College Hill is not the lowest-performing nearby school, but it is not yet competitive with the stronger nearby options. Free/reduced lunch data were not reported, and the spending figure is dated, so context should be read with caution.
