Summary

Woodford Academy is a PK–6 elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 366 students as part of Cincinnati Public Schools. The district is ranked 609th of 773 Ohio districts (21st percentile, 1 star), so Woodford operates within a lower-ranked district context. At the school level, Woodford's 2025–2026 state rank is 1194th of 1560 schools — 23rd percentile, 1 star — and its percentile ranks over the past decade have ranged from 13 to 25, always with 1 star. The trend has moved up from a low of 13th percentile in 2021–2022 to 23rd–25th percentile in 2023–2024 through 2025–2026.

Test scores are below district and state levels in nearly every listed subject and grade. Averaging the nine listed 2025–2026 scores gives about 40.8%, versus roughly 47.1% for the district and 62.1% for the state. Fifth-grade math (17.5% proficient) and fifth-grade science (35%) are the clearest weak spots. Sixth grade is a relative strength: math (40.5%) and ELA (50%) were both above district averages, though still below state levels. Compared with nearby schools, Woodford outperforms Academy for Multilingual Immersion Studies across common grades and is competitive with John P. Parker School and T.C.P. World Academy, but trails Bramble School, Pleasant Ridge Montessori School, Silverton Elementary, Amity Elementary School, Sharpsburg Elementary, and Norwood View Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism was 35.9% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 44.6% but higher than most nearby higher-performing schools, including Bramble (7.5%), Amity (15.4%), Pleasant Ridge (28.0%), Sharpsburg (28.8%), Norwood View (29.6%), and Silverton (31.5%). Class sizes are relatively small (a 13.1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025), yet proficiency remains lower than many peers with larger classes, and per-student spending of $9,856 in 2018–2019 is mid-range locally. Subgroup effectiveness is a bright spot: the school's effectiveness ranking for African American students has been above its overall rank, and its special education ranking rose from the 22nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 59th percentile in 2025–2026 (3 stars).
