Summary

Mt. Airy School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 561 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district. The school has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade.

Mt. Airy School's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 56.7%. The school's performance on English Language Arts and Science assessments is also concerning, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.5% to 51.4% and just 24% of 5th-graders proficient in Science, respectively. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 43.5% to 55.3% in recent years, further contributes to its academic challenges.

While the nearby College Hill Fundamental Academy and Pleasant Hill Academy also struggle with low performance, the Monfort Heights Elementary School, which is part of the Northwest Local district, significantly outperforms Mt. Airy School and the Cincinnati Public Schools district on academic measures. This suggests that the challenges faced by Mt. Airy School may be systemic within the Cincinnati Public Schools district, and the school could potentially learn from the strategies employed by higher-performing nearby schools.
