The school ranks 690th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (56th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 399th of 773 (48th percentile, 2 stars). New Vienna improved from the 34th–47th percentile in 2016–2018 to the 67th–69th percentile in 2022–2024, then slipped to the 60th percentile in 2024–2025 and 56th in 2025–2026; it remains above the state median and slightly above its district. Chronic absenteeism is 9.8% in 2025–2026, and the student–teacher ratio is 15.2 in 2024–2025.
Attendance is a standout strength. The 9.8% chronic absenteeism rate is down sharply from 25.2% in 2022–2023, 18.9% in 2023–2024, and 15.5% in 2024–2025, and is far below the district’s 20.3%. Among nearby schools, only Fairfield Local Elementary School is slightly better at 9.4%; Rainsboro Elementary School is close at 10.6%, while Sabina Elementary School (16.8%), Greenfield Elementary School (12.2%), Lynchburg-Clay Elementary School (15.5%), Denver Place Elementary School (12.9%), and Hillsboro Intermediate School (18.0%) have higher rates. The 15.2 student–teacher ratio is also favorable and has improved from 17.3 to 16.0 to 15.2 over three years; it is better than most nearby schools, though Rainsboro and Lynchburg-Clay are lower.
Test results are mixed. Grade 3 math (84.6%) and Grade 3 ELA (75.0%) are clear strengths, surpassing district and state averages and most nearby peers. Grade 4 math (76.3%) is above the state but below the district. The main concerns are Grade 5 science (56.8%), Grade 5 math (56.8%), and Grade 4 ELA (57.9%), all below district and state; Grade 5 ELA (70.3%) is near the state average but below the district. Low-income students are a bright spot: the low-SES subgroup ranked in the 77th–80th percentile for three straight reported years, all 4-star results, well above the school’s overall 56th percentile. Overall, New Vienna is a mid-to-upper-mid performer with excellent attendance, favorable class sizes, and strong low-SES results, but it has clear room to regain earlier academic standing.
