Summary

The International School is a small alternative public school at 4411 Oakridge Dr in Dayton, Ohio, serving roughly 313 students in grades PK–10 as part of the Dayton City district. That district context matters: Dayton City ranks 725th of 773 Ohio districts in the available data—about the 6th percentile—so the school operates inside one of the lower-ranked district systems in the state.

The school's clearest relative strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism was 26.8% in 2025-2026, well below the 43.8% Dayton City average, and 23.5% in 2024-2025 versus 44.5% districtwide. It also comes in better than Community STE(A)M Academy - Xenia (34.7%) and much better than Summit Academy School?Dayton (67.9%) and Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners -Xenia (64.0%), though it trails Dayton Regional STEM Schools (8.2%) and Mad River Local Schools Remote Learning Center (9.6%). Test proficiency, however, is very low. In 2025-2026 the school posted 10% proficient in 5th-grade Science, 5% in 3rd-grade Math, 0% in both 5th- and 6th-grade Math, and 10–20% in English Language Arts in grades 3, 5, and 6—below Dayton City and far below the state in every reported area.

Two other details stand out. Its student-teacher ratio of 9.4 in 2024-2025 is the lowest among nearby alternatives with reported ratios, yet that small-class advantage has not shown up in the test results. The only free/reduced-lunch figure reported is 3.75% in 2022-2023—unusually low for a Dayton City school—with later years not reported, so the current economic profile is unclear. Because the school stops at grade 10, no graduation rate is available. There are small signs of improvement: chronic absenteeism fell from 41.9% in 2022-2023, while 3rd-grade Math rose from 0% to 5% and 3rd-grade ELA from 10% to 20%.
