Bear Primary School

Public Grades PK, KG-2

Summary

Bear Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Miamisburg, Ohio, serving 169 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Miamisburg City School District, which is ranked 392 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bear Elementary School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and significant performance gaps among specific student groups. The school's test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are consistently lower than the Miamisburg City and Ohio state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate at Bear Elementary was 39%, compared to 55.1% for Miamisburg City and 57.4% for the state. Additionally, Bear Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 626 out of 1,636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,009 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bear Elementary is part of the same school district as other nearby schools, such as Jane Chance Elementary and Medlar View Elementary, its academic performance, as measured by test scores and statewide rankings, is consistently lower than its counterparts. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices and the implementation of targeted interventions to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for all students at Bear Elementary.
