Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Middletown, Ohio, serving 555 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Middletown City School District, which is ranked 650 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosa Parks Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 35.9% to 53.2% in recent years, well above the district and state averages. Academically, proficiency rates on state tests are consistently low across all grade levels and subjects, with most grades performing well below the Middletown City and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 4.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient in Science, compared to 40.9% in Middletown City and 63.4% statewide.

While the spending per student at Rosa Parks Elementary School is slightly higher than the district average, it does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools for most student subgroups. Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the Middletown City School District, such as Central Academy Nongraded and Mayfield Elementary, generally perform better than Rosa Parks Elementary on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. However, these schools still struggle compared to the state averages, indicating broader challenges within the Middletown City School District.
