Summary

Midway School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 531 students. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which is ranked 596 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midway School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates (40-46%), well below average academic performance on state assessments (only 20-56% proficient in math and 20-47% in English language arts), and low subgroup performance across most demographic categories. Despite spending slightly more per student ($10,919) than the district average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved outcomes.

Interestingly, the schools closest to Midway (within 2 miles) also struggle with similar issues, with 1-star ratings and low proficiency levels. The exception is Oakdale Elementary, which is part of the Oak Hills Local school district and performs significantly better than Midway and the other Cincinnati public schools. Two nearby schools, Dater Montessori and James N. Gamble Montessori, utilize the Montessori teaching approach and perform somewhat better than the traditional Cincinnati public schools, but still lag behind Oakdale and state averages.
