Summary

Brantwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dayton, Ohio, serving 346 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Mad River Local School District, which is ranked 522 out of 828 districts in the state.

Brantwood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in mathematics proficiency, with 77.9% of 3rd graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 66.5% for the district and 64.4% for the state. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with lower percentages of 3rd and 4th graders scoring proficient or better. Interestingly, Brantwood's African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup, while the school's White students and students of low socioeconomic status perform relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state.

One significant concern at Brantwood is the high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.1% to 34.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.79% to 59.83% in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Virginia Stevenson Elementary School, Brantwood performs on par or slightly better in mathematics proficiency but lags behind in ELA proficiency, suggesting that district-level factors may be influencing the academic outcomes at these schools.
