Summary

River's Edge Montessori Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving around 500 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Dayton City School District.

One of the school's key strengths is its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Dayton City School District and the state of Ohio in proficiency across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, River's Edge Montessori had a 62.3% proficiency rate in 3rd grade English Language Arts, compared to 36.8% for Dayton City and 61.3% for Ohio. The school's mathematics performance is particularly impressive, with proficiency rates ranging from 27.1% to 55.1% across grades 3-6, significantly higher than the 13.9% to 34.6% for Dayton City. In science, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rate of 37.5% is also notably higher than the 19.9% for Dayton City.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 44.5% to 46.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, while River's Edge Montessori performs relatively well for its African American students, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools in this subgroup, the school struggles with its White student population, ranking in the bottom 50% of Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup. When compared to nearby schools, such as Deca Prep, River's Edge Montessori lags behind in some academic proficiency and school environment metrics, despite its overall strong performance.
