Summary
Arrowood Elementary, at 1588 Pawnee Dr in Xenia, Ohio, is a K–5 school with 449 students in the Xenia Community City district — the second-largest of the five Xenia elementaries in this comparison set.
Arrowood is a clear over-performer relative to its own district. Xenia Community City ranks 472 of 773 Ohio districts (2 stars), while Arrowood ranks 612 of 1,560 schools in 2025–26 — the 61st percentile, 3 stars, about 22 percentile points above its district. It was a 2-star school in the 35th–46th percentile from 2015–16 through 2020–21, then stepped up to 3 stars and the 52nd–63rd percentile every year since 2021–22 — a durable gain, not a one-year spike. In 2025–26, 3rd and 4th graders scored above both the district and the state in every subject, including 87.1 in 3rd-grade math and 88.0 in 4th-grade math, but 5th grade fell below the district in math, ELA, and science. That dip tracks a single class that has scored in the mid-50s to mid-60s since 3rd grade, while the prior 5th-grade class scored in the mid-70s — a cohort effect, not a program problem.
Two concerns stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 26.0% — tied for the highest among the Xenia elementaries, three to four times the rate at nearby Beavercreek and Bellbrook schools, and up from 22.8% last year even as the district improved. Arrowood also spends the least per student in this set ($8,928, versus $10,200–$10,800 nearby). On the positive side, its low-income students are its strongest measured group — 4 stars and the 77th–81st percentile for three straight years. A roughly 20-point gap between boys (72nd–74th percentile) and girls (52nd–54th) has held for two years. Special education results swung from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 69th in 2025–26 — worth verifying rather than assuming. Arrowood's 4th-grade math (88.0) is close to Main Elementary School in Beavercreek (88.6).
