Summary
New Miami Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Hamilton, OH, serving 292 students in the New Miami Local district. In 2025–26, it ranked 1,214th of 1,560 Ohio schools—22nd percentile, 1 star—up from 13th percentile in 2024–25 but still below the state midpoint. The district also ranks 15th percentile, 1 star. Its 2025–26 proficiency was below the state in every reported subject and grade, with an unweighted average of about 43.8% versus about 63.8% statewide. The weakest results were Math 5 (32.6%) and Science 5 (34.8%); the relatively stronger results were Math 4 (50.0%), ELA 3 (53.2%), and ELA 5 (50.0%). Nearby, Edgewood Intermediate School averaged about 65.8%, Crawford Woods Elementary School about 53.8%, and Fairfield North Elementary School about 77.4%, all well above New Miami.
Attendance is the clearest challenge. New Miami’s chronic absenteeism was 41.0% in 2025–26—better than the district’s 44.7% but far above Edgewood Intermediate School at 21.0%, Crawford Woods Elementary School at 25.6%, and Fairfield North Elementary School at 7.4%; only Fairfield Preparatory Academy was higher, at 52.2%. The rate has improved dramatically from 61.2% in 2021–22, though it rose from 36.5% in 2024–25. Meanwhile, New Miami has a relatively favorable 12.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25—lower than most nearby elementaries, which are around 17.7–19.8—and reported $10,320 per-student spending in 2018–19, the highest among nearby schools with data. Those resource advantages have not yet translated into higher proficiency in the available results.
There is some positive momentum: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, proficiency rose in every reported grade/subject, including Math 5 (18.9% to 32.6%), Science 5 (24.3% to 34.8%), and ELA 4 (33.3% to 43.5%), and the school rank percentile improved from 13 to 22. Overall, New Miami Elementary School is a small PK–5 school with a favorable staffing ratio and relatively high historical per-student spending, but it currently posts low academic proficiency, very high chronic absenteeism, and bottom-tier results compared with state and most nearby schools. The biggest concerns for parents to watch are attendance, 5th-grade math and science, and whether the recent test-score rebound continues.
