of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 14% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Winton Hills Academy is a PK–7 elementary school serving 307 students on Winneste Avenue in Cincinnati, part of Cincinnati Public Schools, a district that itself ranks in the bottom quarter of Ohio districts.

In 2025–26, Winton Hills Academy ranked 1334th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools — the 14th percentile — and has never earned more than 1 star in any year on record, with results drifting slowly downward from the 28th percentile in 2015–16. The school's profile splits by grade. In 3rd grade, ELA proficiency (58.9%) matches the district exactly and comes within 5 points of the state; 4th grade math (46.0%) is above the district's 44.5%. But 5th grade falls apart across every subject: 13.0% in math against the district's 39.6%, 29.8% in ELA against 58.7%, and 15.2% in science against 42.6%. Whatever is working in the early grades is not carrying through to grade 5, which makes grades 3–5 the most useful window for parents to watch and ask about.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's most striking number: 69.4%, the highest of any school nearby and 24.8 points above the district's 44.6%. It has stayed above 62% every year since 2021–22 while the district rate improved. Neighbors split into two tiers: Parker Woods Montessori School, North Avondale Montessori School, and St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School combine 23–24% absenteeism with stronger rankings, while Winton Hills clusters near Chase School, Bond Hill Academy, ReGeneration Bond Hill, and Horizon Science Academy-Cincinnati. Notably, Northside Preparatory Academy (0.67 miles away) has nearly identical absenteeism (66.1%) but far higher math proficiency, so attendance alone doesn't explain results. Within the school, male students scored at the 9th percentile (0 stars) and special education at the 5th percentile (0 stars). Per-student spending of $11,925 is the highest among nearby Cincinnati Public Schools peers, so resources do not appear to be the limiting factor.
