Summary

Indian Riffle Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 521 students in the Kettering City School District in Kettering, Ohio, making it one of the larger elementaries in its immediate Kettering peer group. The district earns 4 stars and ranks 179 of 773 Ohio districts (77th percentile). Indian Riffle is also rated 4 stars, ranking 291 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools for 2025–2026 (81st percentile) — a solid statewide position, but down from a 2022–2023 peak of 5 stars and 95th percentile.

English language arts is the school's most consistent strength: Indian Riffle beat both district and state averages in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade ELA, with 5th grade at 87.0%. Math is more mixed — 3rd and 4th grade math are above district and state averages (4th grade at 85.9%), but 5th grade math was 74.1%, below the district's 80.0% though well above the state's 59.1%. Fifth-grade science slipped to 72.2%, below the district's 77.5% and the lowest among Kettering peers, a sharp drop from 81.4% in 2024–2025 when it led those same peers.

One standout: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, and special education students in the 82nd percentile. With 44.15% of students on free/reduced lunch — more than Valley Elementary School, Fairbrook Elementary School or Driscoll Elementary School, and similar to Oakview Elementary School and Orchard Park Elementary School — that is a meaningful signal. Chronic absenteeism is 11.3%, better than the district's 16.4% but higher than Prass Elementary School (5.7%), Valley (7.2%) and Oakview (8.0%). In current rankings, Indian Riffle trails Prass (87th percentile), Orchard Park (87) and Oakview (86), but leads J F Kennedy Elementary School (68), Beavertown Elementary School (70), Greenmont Elementary School (57), Driscoll (65) and Montgomery Preparatory Academy (9).
