Summary

Belmont High School is a large public school at 2615 Wayne Ave in Dayton, serving grades 8–12 with 1,153 students as part of the Dayton City district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 751st of 795 Ohio high schools—the 6th percentile with 0 stars—continuing a long pattern of bottom-decile performance rather than a one-year drop. Because it includes grade 8, its middle-school results are part of its own high school picture.

Test proficiency is far below state averages and mostly below the district. In 2025–2026, 8th-grade math was 5.5%, science 8.2%, and English language arts 15.0%. High school end-of-course results ranged from 18.2% in Algebra I and Geometry to 42.0% in American Government and 37.0% in American History. Government and history are Belmont’s highest recent results, and Geometry is slightly above the district, but all remain far below Ohio averages. The graduation rate has fallen to 57.3%, below the district’s 66.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 68.7%—more than 25 points above the district’s 43.8%.

Nearby schools show a wide range of outcomes. Stivers School For The Arts, in the same district, has a 90.0% graduation rate, 31.7% chronic absenteeism, and much higher test scores. David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center graduates 93.9% but has 70.4% chronic absenteeism, while Dunbar Early College High School has a 66.1% graduation rate and 71.6% absenteeism. Mound Street Academy is lower still at 21.2% graduation and 95.6% absenteeism. Nearby suburban and charter options are far ahead: Oakwood High School has 98.8% graduation and 13.3% absenteeism, Kettering Fairmont High School has 96.4% and 23.3%, and Dayton Early College Academy Inc has 93.0% and 16.2%. Belmont also has a 19.8 student-teacher ratio, the highest among these nearby schools, and per-pupil spending listed at $9,381 in 2018–2019. Current free/reduced-lunch data are not reported, so poverty context is limited. The school’s challenges are broad-based rather than concentrated in one student group.
