Summary

Blairwood Elementary School is a small K–6 school in Dayton, OH, serving 148 students in the Jefferson Township Local district. It ranks 1,418th of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 (9th percentile, 0 stars), and its district ranks 681st of 773. Test scores are below state averages in every reported subject and grade. Its relative bright spots are 5th grade ELA (46.7%) and 5th grade science (33.3%), while math is the biggest concern, especially 4th grade math (11.1%) and 6th grade math (5.9%) compared with state averages of 67.3% and 56.2%.

Attendance is improving faster than achievement. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 46.1% in 2022–2023 to 30.0% in 2025–2026, better than the district rate of 39.3% and lower than many nearby low-performing schools, including Miami Valley Academies (46.7%), City Day Community School (56.7%), Edison Elementary School (46.0%), Westwood Elementary School (42.2%), Louise Troy Elementary School (43.4%), and Roosevelt Elementary School (41.4%). Still, it trails West Carrollton Elementary School (21.1%) and Southdale Elementary School (11.5%). The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.4, lower than most nearby schools, and only Miami Valley Academies is lower. With 148 students, however, year-to-year test-score swings can reflect small cohorts.

Compared with nearby schools, Blairwood Elementary School is not the lowest performer: its 5th grade ELA and science results top City Day Community School, Dayton Leadership Academy, Edison Elementary School, Westwood Elementary School, Louise Troy Elementary School, and Roosevelt Elementary School. But it is far behind Southdale Elementary School, which ranks in the 78th percentile with 4 stars and posts 4th grade math at 84.8%, and West Carrollton Elementary School, where 3rd and 4th grade math are 65.4% and 67.1%. Statewide subgroup rankings are also low for low-income students (9th percentile). The most urgent priorities are math in grades 4 and 6 and better outcomes for student groups; attendance gains have not yet translated into broad academic improvement. Free/reduced lunch data were not reported, and spending data are dated.
