Summary

Montgomery Elementary School is a K–4 school serving 566 students at 9609 Montgomery Rd in Cincinnati, Ohio, part of the highly rated Sycamore Community City district. In 2025–26, it ranked #30 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 98th percentile with 5 stars — and it has earned 5 stars every year in the available rank history, reaching #3 in 2017–18 and #4 in 2020–21. That makes it the highest-ranked school among its neighbors.

Test results are exceptionally strong and broad. In 2025–26, Montgomery reported 92% proficiency in 3rd-grade math, 95.4% in 4th-grade math, 100% in 5th-grade math, 88.3% in 3rd-grade ELA, and 92.2% in 4th-grade ELA — roughly 25 to 41 points above state averages, and above its own district in every listed area. Fifth-grade math has been at 100% for four consecutive reported years. Nearby 5-star peers are close: Maple Dale Elementary School posted slightly higher 4th-grade math and ELA, and Madeira Elementary School edged ahead in 3rd-grade ELA and 4th-grade math, while Indian Hill Elementary School and Blue Ash Elementary School trailed Montgomery's overall rank. Note that the school profile lists grades K–4, while the provided test data also includes 5th-grade results.

Subgroup effectiveness is a standout: #1 of 89 for Asian students and #2 of 318 for English Language Learner students in 2025–26, with very high ranks for other groups as well. Chronic absenteeism was just 2.9%, versus 9.3% district-wide and lower than every nearby school except Madeira (1.9%). About 13.96% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 — more than Madeira or Indian Hill, less than Blue Ash or Maple Dale, and far less than the Princeton City, Deer Park Community City, and Cincinnati Public Schools neighbors, whose schools generally post much lower proficiency and much higher absenteeism. Montgomery spent $13,647 per student (2018–19), with a student-teacher ratio of 18.2 in 2024–25. Overall, it is a consistently elite, top-2% school.
