Summary

Finneytown Elementary is a public elementary school serving 634 students in grades K-6 in the Finneytown Local District in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.8% to 31.4% over the past 3 school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and much higher than the nearby high-performing Hilltop Elementary School (12.5% chronic absenteeism).

Finneytown Elementary students perform well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas on the Ohio State Tests. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 61.3%. Math proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 14.1% for 5th graders to 42.3% for 4th graders, compared to state averages of 56.7% to 69.1%. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Ohio elementary schools for most student subgroups, including female, male, African American, white, multi-racial, English Language Learners, and low socioeconomic status students.

Finneytown Elementary's performance is significantly worse than nearby high-performing schools like Hilltop Elementary and Elm Avenue Elementary, which are part of the highly-ranked Wyoming City School District. Finneytown Elementary's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past 3 school years, with little to no improvement in test scores, chronic absenteeism, or student group performance rankings, suggesting that significant interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes.
