Summary

Prass Elementary School is a K–5 school in the Kettering City School District in Kettering, Ohio, serving about 420 students. It is a consistently high performer, ranking 200th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 87th percentile, 4 stars, or roughly the top 13% of the state's elementary schools. It has generally ranked between the 86th and 95th percentiles over the past decade, with 5-star years in 2016–17, 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24, peaking in 2023–24 at 75th of 1,577 schools (95th percentile, 5 stars).

In 2025–2026, Prass scored above both district and state averages in all seven reported test areas. Its 5th-grade ELA score of 91.8 is the highest among all nearby tested schools, and Math 5 (89.0) is essentially tied with Oakview Elementary School's 89.1. The relative soft spot is 3rd-grade ELA at 75.3, just 0.1 point above the district though still well above the state. Among Kettering elementaries, Prass's rank is slightly ahead of Orchard Park Elementary School (202nd) and Oakview (212th), with Indian Riffle Elementary School, Beavertown Elementary School, J F Kennedy Elementary School, and Greenmont Elementary School further back; only Dr John Hole Elementary School in Centerville clearly outperforms Prass overall. Chronic absenteeism is a standout at 5.7% in 2025–2026 — lower than every nearby school listed and less than half the district's 16.4%.

Prass serves a moderate-poverty population — 38.57% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — yet its low-SES subgroup ranked in the 90th percentile in 2025–2026, up from 83rd the year before. Special education students ranked near the state median (51st percentile in 2024–2025), the clearest area for improvement. The student-teacher ratio was 16.4 in 2024–2025, similar to Greenmont, Oakview, and Indian Riffle but higher than Orchard Park's 12.7. Free/reduced lunch has risen from 30.57% in 2022–2023 to 38.57% in 2024–2025, a trend worth watching.

The school is in decline. After many years of solid leadership, the new principal is incompetent. There are some good teachers which hold the school together but overall the staff is very unprofessional. If you are thinking of enrolling your child be sure to visit the school. One trip to the school office will convince you to look at another school. Close Quote
