Summary

Westwood Elementary School in Dayton, OH, is a PK-6 public school in the Dayton City district serving 352 students in a high-poverty area, and it has historically ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, currently sitting in the 4th percentile statewide.

The school faces a severe crisis with chronic absenteeism, which directly impacts academic achievement. For the 2024-2025 school year, 44.6% of students were chronically absent—nearly double the rate at nearby Belle Haven Elementary School (23.7%) and more than triple that of River's Edge Montessori Elementary School (13.5%). This absenteeism is a foundational barrier to learning, making it extremely difficult for the school to improve. Math proficiency is catastrophically low, with only 5.3% of 5th graders and 6.1% of 6th graders meeting state standards—less than half the already-low district average. In contrast, River's Edge Montessori achieved 27.1% and 42.1% proficiency in those same grades, showing that success is possible within the same district.

There is one notable bright spot: Westwood’s 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 34.2% actually exceeded the district average of 33.3%, suggesting a specific teacher or program is working well at that grade level. However, this success does not carry over to 6th grade, where ELA proficiency drops sharply to just 14.3%. The school’s per-student spending of $11,220 is in the middle of the pack compared to peers, indicating that funding alone is not the issue. To turn things around, Westwood must urgently address its absenteeism crisis and look to replicate the success of its 5th-grade ELA program across all grades and subjects.
