Summary
Evendale Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 232 students at 3940 Glendale Milford Rd in the Cincinnati area, part of the Princeton City school district. The defining feature of this school is the gap between its district and its own results: Princeton City ranks 532nd of 773 Ohio districts (31st percentile, 2 stars), while Evendale ranked 194th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-2026 — the 88th percentile, with 4 stars. About 40.5% of its students were economically disadvantaged in 2024-2025.
On every tested subject in 2025-2026 — grade 5 science, and math and ELA in grades 3–5 — Evendale scored above both district and state averages, averaging about 84% proficient versus roughly 55% for the district and 64% for the state. Fifth-grade science (85.7%) was the standout, the highest of any comparable school in the area. Its Princeton City peers — Sharonville, Stewart, Glendale, and Lincoln Heights — cluster far lower, in the 26th–31st percentile, while the Sycamore schools (Montgomery, Maple Dale, Blue Ash) remain ahead on identical grade 3–4 tests, with Evendale about 4–11 points behind them but far above its own district peers. It does this with roughly two to three times their poverty rate and the lowest per-student spending ($10,133) among its Princeton City peers. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 14.2%, and its 11.3 student-teacher ratio is the lowest of all eleven schools compared.
Two things are worth watching. The 2025-2026 result is the best in a decade, but it follows nine years in the 59th–77th percentile, and with small grade cohorts a single strong class can swing results — so whether the gain holds is an open question. Also, male students ranked at the 90th percentile with 5 stars in 2025-2026, while female students, last reported in 2024-2025, were at the 58th percentile, a widening gap. Historically, the school has produced strong results for some of its highest-need groups. Overall, Evendale performs well above what its district and funding would suggest.
