Summary

Taylor Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 749 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Northwest Local School District, which is ranked 533 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests that are well below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 38.3% proficiency rate in 3rd grade Math, compared to 57.3% for the Northwest Local district and 64.4% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 27.3% to 36.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Taylor Elementary School performs below average in serving certain student subgroups, such as students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools.

While Taylor Elementary School faces significant challenges, there are some bright spots. The school's performance for gifted and talented students and English Language Learners is relatively stronger, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools in these categories. Nearby schools within the Northwest Local district, such as Struble Elementary and Pleasant Run Elementary, perform significantly better than Taylor Elementary on academic measures, but also struggle with high chronic absenteeism. Schools outside the Northwest Local district, such as North College Hill Elementary and Mt. Healthy Early Learning Center, generally perform worse than Taylor Elementary on academic measures but have even higher chronic absenteeism rates.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, December 7, 2011

My husband and I talked with several lifelong residents of Northwest School District, including an educator that works directly in the school district itself for many years about Taylor Elementary School and not one recommended we send our children to this school. We decided, however, after meeting the teachers that our children would be properly educated. Well, I have bit of an advantage because I am highly involved in my childrens education in writing this evaluation and see the day to day operations at this school. Individualized education is non-existent at this school, meaning if your child does not understand it, the teachers will not sit there individually with your child for him/her to understand it, leaving your child behind. Oh Well! Changing your child's thought control through treating him/her as an adult, rather than understand your working with a child is priority number one at this school. I send my children to school to be educated, not to change their values, personality and thinking. Students at this school walk on pins and needles because they are treated as adults and you think this somehow encourages children that learning is fun. The school administrators at Taylor Elementary School could careless about parents or their concerns and there is only one way right and that is their way. Parents are looked down upon as not knowing what is best for their children at this school, which is unfortunate because if you research how well Taylor Elementary School performs, they are ranked VERY LOW. I could not imagine why? But because our public education system is a monopoly in this country, I have no choice but to send my children to this school, conform, and let things happen just as my children do everyday at this school because of where I live.
