of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 91% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Maddux Elementary School is a K–6 school at 943 Rosetree Ln in Cincinnati (OH 45230), serving 541 students in the Forest Hills Local School District, one of Ohio’s strongest districts. Across ten reported years, Maddux has never fallen below the 86th percentile or earned fewer than 4 stars, placing it permanently in Ohio’s top ~10–15% of elementary schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 146th of 1,560 schools (91st percentile, 5 stars). On that year’s state tests, about 85% of students in grades 3–6 were proficient in math (state average near 61%), and about 83% in English language arts (state average near 63%).

Compared with nearby schools, Maddux sits at the bottom of a very high-performing Forest Hills peer group: five district elementaries are within about 2.7 miles, and Maddux ranks 5th of 6 on 2025–2026 statewide rank even as a 5-star, 91st-percentile school. Its chronic absenteeism (9.5%) is the highest in that group, though still below the district’s 12.2% and far below Mt. Washington School, just 1.5 miles away, which ranks in the 22nd percentile with 40.7% chronic absenteeism. Maddux also outperforms nearby West Clermont Local schools like Summerside Elementary (20.9% absenteeism, 49th percentile) and Withamsville-Tobasco Elementary School (12.7%, 44th percentile). Science is an outlier weakness: 5th-grade science proficiency is 79.5%, below every Forest Hills peer, down from 95.6% four years ago.

Inside the school, absenteeism has risen from 5.4% to 9.5% in four years while the district-relative gap narrowed. Subgroup results are mixed: students with disabilities and low-income students perform around the state’s 63rd–65th percentile, well below Maddux’s overall top-10% standing, though scores for these groups improved in 2025–2026. The school’s 100% 7th-grade math results reflect a small, accelerated group, not the general student body. Resources are not the differentiator: Maddux spends $10,265 per pupil, and top-ranked Wilson Elementary School spends more, while Sherwood Elementary School ranks 95th percentile on the lowest spending in the group. Bottom line: Maddux is a consistently excellent school that is mid-pack by its own district’s exceptional standards, with strong math and advanced-math opportunities, but watch science, absenteeism, and subgroup outcomes.
