Summary

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Xenia, Ohio, serving 316 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Xenia Community City school district, which is ranked 416 out of 828 districts in the state.

McKinley Elementary consistently outperforms the Xenia district and Ohio state averages on the Ohio State Tests, particularly in 5th-grade Science where 84.1% of students were proficient or better, compared to 67.9% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school also excels in Mathematics and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. McKinley's performance is especially strong among African American students and students with special needs, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in these subgroups.

However, McKinley Elementary faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 18.6% to 32.8% in recent years, higher than the state average. While McKinley outperforms the Xenia district and state, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools in the Beavercreek City and Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local districts, such as Trebein Elementary and Bell Creek Intermediate. This performance gap may be partly due to the lower per-student spending at McKinley compared to these higher-achieving schools.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. I don't recommend this place to anyone! My son has been bullied by teachers and students from the second grade all the way to the fifth. One year it was so bad with this boy at school he was coming home in tears, so at his iep meeting that year I brought it up (bc the teacher we talked to was doing nothing) and I was told "oh he is having troubles at home" then the principle looked me dead in my face and said "maybe it's a situation where boys will be boys".. this year in the fifth grade was the worst though.. my son a couple of weeks ago got attacked in the boys bathroom by two boys, when the teacher found out they were in there she had them all come out and my son told her that they were trying to dunk his head in the toilet and punching him.. she didn't Call me. my son sat through school all day worried how he was going to tell me.. then when I went into the school I talked to the principle and asked why no-one called me and he threw his hands up in the air and said " how could we call you if no-one knew!" The teacher told me she didn't tell him bc she didn't see it happen but took the two boys recess away which she thought justified what they did to my son. I also found the two moms of the boys who did this to him and they never called one of them and the other boys mother said they didn't go into much detail.. I quickly pulled my son out to homeschool.. most of the teachers also don't know how to help kids that are on the on the spectrum.. the principle had the nerve to tell me my son was a "tough case" bc he was putting his head down after he was done with his work.. this place is a joke!
