Summary

Oakview Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 477 students in the Kettering City School District, a mid-sized suburban district near Dayton, Ohio, where it ranks among Ohio’s stronger elementary schools and among the top schools in its own district.

Oakview ranks in the 86th percentile statewide (4 stars), up from roughly the 65th–74th percentile range in the mid-2010s. Across seven tested areas, its average proficiency is about 83.2%—roughly 19 points above the state average and 4 points above the Kettering district average. Within Kettering, it is essentially tied with Prass Elementary School and Orchard Park Elementary School for the strongest results, and it does so while serving a higher share of lower-income students (45.9% free/reduced-price lunch) than Prass. Compared with higher-ranked out-of-district schools such as Smith Elementary School in Oakwood City and Dr John Hole Elementary School in Centerville City, Oakview serves a much higher lower-income population but still lands within about 6–9 points of them. Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism is 8.0%, about half the district’s 16.4% and lower than most Kettering elementary peers.

Math is Oakview’s signature, with grade 5 math at 89.1, grade 5 ELA at 88.2, and grade 5 science at 82.4; math scores exceed the state by 17–30 points at every grade. The pressure point is grade 3 literacy: ELA proficiency fell from 90.9 to 81.2 to 75.0 over three years, and grade 3 math also slipped from 92.2 to 85.3 to 82.4. For lower-income students, the school’s state subgroup effectiveness ranking has declined from the 93rd to 85th to 75th percentile, still above average but trending down. The gifted-and-talented subgroup ranked in the 20th percentile (1 star) in 2020–21, a dated and sparse but notable weak signal. The student–teacher ratio improved to 16.3 in 2024–25. Per-student spending was $12,078 in 2018–19, so treat it as historical context. Some subgroups are too small for the state to report, which should not be read as a weakness.
