Summary
Louise Troy Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 316 students in the Dayton City School District, located at 1630 Miami Chapel Rd in Dayton, OH. In 2025–2026 it ranks 1,336 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 14th percentile, with 1 star. That is near the bottom statewide, though slightly above the district's own standing of 725 of 773 (6th percentile, 0 stars). The school has improved over time, moving from the 3rd percentile in 2018–2019 into the 10th–15th percentile range in recent years and from 0 stars to 1 star, though 2023–2024 dipped back to 0 stars.
Test results in 2025–2026 show a clear split by grade. Third grade is the bright spot: 61.8% of students were proficient in math — essentially the state average of 62.1% and more than double the district's 29.3% — and 52.9% in English language arts, well above the district's 38.1%. That is far ahead of nearby same-district schools such as Edison Elementary School (2.2% in 3rd grade math), Westwood Elementary School (14.6%) and Roosevelt Elementary School (27.3%), though suburban Southdale Elementary School (76.9%) and Harman Elementary School (84.3%) are higher. Upper grades are the main concern: 5th grade math falls to 10.8%, 5th grade science to 13.5%, and 6th grade math to 7.4%, with ELA below the district average. In 5th grade ELA and science, most nearby schools — including River's Edge Montessori Elementary School — outperform Louise Troy.
Chronic absenteeism is 43.4%, close to the district's 43.8% and a real improvement from 54.7% in 2021–2022, but still very high — far above River's Edge (12.0%), Southdale (11.5%) and Harman (1.7%). Notably, Southdale reports 44.34% free/reduced lunch yet far outperforms Louise Troy, suggesting poverty alone does not explain the gap. The student-teacher ratio is 16.6, better than several nearby urban schools, and per-student spending was $11,149 in 2018–2019, mid-pack locally. In short, Louise Troy has real early-grade momentum, but attendance and upper-grade instruction are the key challenges ahead.
