Summary

Dixie High School is a 9–12 school in New Lebanon, Ohio, serving 311 students in the New Lebanon Local School District, a small district in the Dayton area that ranks 542 of 773 Ohio districts. The school itself is ranked 557 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 — about the 30th percentile, with 2 stars — down from the top third of the state in the mid-2010s, when it earned 3 stars.

Its strongest points are keeping students in school and getting them to graduation. The graduation rate rose to 95.1%, close to Valley View High School (96.7%) and Brookville High School (98.4%), and far above Trotwood-Madison High School (86.2%) and Jefferson Junior/Senior High School (71.4%). Chronic absenteeism fell to 12.7%, better than the district's 15.2% and roughly in line with the highest-performing nearby schools. Among tested subjects, American Government (79.7%) and English II (63.0%) are at or above the state average, and American History is close behind.

Math is the clear weak spot: Geometry proficiency is 14.9%, 28.4 points below the state, and Algebra I is 36.2%, 25.4 points below the state. Geometry has fallen from 41.6% in 2022–2023. Even so, Dixie outperforms several nearby schools in English II, Biology and graduation. Class sizes are small — a 12.9 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among comparable nearby high schools — while per-student spending of $9,555 is lower than most neighbors. Notably, Brookville spends less and has larger classes yet far higher proficiency, suggesting results depend more on how instruction and math intervention are targeted than on resources alone.
