Summary

Belle Haven Elementary School is a PK–6 school in the Dayton City School District in Dayton, OH, serving 473 students. It ranks 1,299 of 1,560 schools in 2025–2026 (17th percentile, 1 star), which is still low statewide but is the best rank in its supplied recent history; prior years ranged from the 2nd to 10th percentile. Its district context is challenging: Dayton City ranks 725 of 773 Ohio districts (6th percentile, 0 stars).

Academically, the school is mixed. It beats the district in five of nine tested areas: Math 3 (32.0 vs. 29.3), Math 4 (33.3 vs. 24.9), Math 6 (66.2 vs. 19.9), ELA 3 (50.0 vs. 38.1), and ELA 4 (32.8 vs. 30.2). The standout is 6th grade math: 66.2% proficient, above Ohio’s 56.2% and far above the district’s 19.9%, and up from 16.7%, 6.5%, and 4.4% in the prior three years. It is the only tested area above the state average. By contrast, Science 5 (12.5), Math 5 (8.9), and ELA 6 (13.6) trail both the district and state. Among nearby same-district schools, the school leads Fairview Elementary School, Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy, and Valerie Elementary School in Math 3, Math 4, Math 6, and ELA 3, though Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy is higher in ELA 4 and ELA 5, and Fairview Elementary School is higher in Science 5. Northwood Elementary School in Northmont City ranks 65th percentile, 3 stars, with much higher proficiency.

Attendance is the school’s clearest relative strength. Chronic absenteeism is 24.2%, far below the district’s 43.8% and below most nearby schools; only Northwood Elementary School is lower at 17.2%. The school also improved from 54.0% in 2021–2022 to the low 20s in recent years. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.5 in 2024–2025, up from 12.9 in 2023–2024. Spending data are only available for 2018–2019, when the school spent $10,159 per student, mid-range among nearby schools.
