Summary

Monfort Heights Elementary School is a K–5 school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 588 students in the Northwest Local district on the city's west side, near Westwood and Cheviot.

In 2025–2026, Monfort Heights Elementary School ranked 684th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 56th percentile with 3 stars — well above its own district's 28th percentile and 1-star rating. It also outranks its same-district peer Struble Elementary School (42nd percentile) and nearby Cincinnati Public and charter options such as Westwood School (24th) and James N. Gamble Montessori Elementary School (32nd). It trails the strongest Oak Hills Local schools, Charles W Springmyer Elementary School (78th percentile) and Oakdale Elementary School (62nd).

Math is the school's signature strength: 4th-grade math proficiency was 85.7%, 18.4 points above the state, and has stayed between 83.2% and 87.3% for four straight years. Fifth-grade math (69.1%) and 5th-grade ELA (74.0%) also beat district and state averages. Third-grade ELA is the weak spot at 58.3%, below both the district (61.7%) and the state (63.4%), and down from 71.3% the prior year. Fifth-grade science, at 58.8%, has improved steadily but still trails the state's 62.7%.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 13.2% in 2025–2026, about half the district's 27.1% and lower than nearly every nearby school. Low-income students (78th percentile) and English Language Learners (82nd percentile) perform strongly, while special education students rank at the 40th percentile with 2 stars — the clearest area for improvement. The student-teacher ratio was 17.8 in 2024–2025, and 52.35% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2023–2024.
