Summary

John Foster Dulles Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 812 students on Cincinnati's west side, at 6481 Bridgetown Rd, part of the Oak Hills Local district. In 2025–26 it ranked 355th of 1,560 Ohio elementaries — the 77th percentile, with 4 stars — placing it in the top quarter of the state and above its own district's rating (68th percentile, 3 stars). It has never earned fewer than 4 stars in the ten years of history provided.

Dulles beat the state average in all seven tested measures in 2025–26, by margins of roughly 9 to 20 points, and outperformed the district in six of seven. Fifth-grade math (78.8) and fifth-grade ELA (86.7) were particular strengths. The standout metric is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 10.2% is the lowest of all 11 schools compared, less than half the district rate (21.5%), and improving every year since 2022–23. Students with disabilities are served unusually well, ranking at the 80th percentile in 2025–26. All of this is achieved on the lowest per-pupil spending among its Oak Hills peers ($8,097) and the highest student-teacher ratio in the data set (24.6).

Worth watching: a gradual slide from the 90th percentile (2015–2018 and 2021–2023) to the high 70s and low 80s in recent years, plus a sharp 2025–26 drop in third-grade ELA (to 72.7) and fourth-grade ELA (75.7), even as fifth grade surged across all subjects. Science was a relative soft spot for two years before recovering. The low-SES subgroup slipped to the 66th percentile, while the poverty rate has risen from 15.77% to 26.11% over three years — still far below C O Harrison Elementary School (51.27%) and Oakdale Elementary School (45.21%). Dulles is roughly level with Charles W Springmyer Elementary School (79th percentile) and just behind C O Harrison Elementary School (82nd), while the nearby Cincinnati Public Schools and charter campuses in the comparison set all rank between the 14th and 56th percentile.
