Summary

Winton Hills Academy is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 306 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winton Hills Academy faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 43.5% to 63.7% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 38.7% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's special education and low socioeconomic status students performing particularly poorly.

While the nearby schools in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, such as Parker Woods Montessori School and Pleasant Hill Academy, also struggle academically, they generally outperform Winton Hills Academy. Additionally, Winton Hills Academy spends approximately $11,925 per student, which is higher than the spending at some of the nearby schools, suggesting that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources.
