Summary

Dixie Elementary School is a PK–4 school in New Lebanon, Ohio, serving 446 students in the New Lebanon Local School District, a district ranked 542 of 773 Ohio districts (30th percentile, 2 stars). In 2025–2026, Dixie ranked 885 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars) — a notable drop from 2024–2025, when it was 646 of 1,558 (59th percentile, 3 stars), and below its fairly stable 3-star stretch around the 55th–59th percentile from 2020–2021 through 2023–2024. Even so, the school is outperforming its district's overall standing.

Test results show a split academic identity. Third-grade math is a real strength at 80.3% proficiency versus 62.1% statewide, ahead of Twin Valley South Elementary School (54.2%) and slightly above Brookville Elementary School (76.9%). Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest weakness: 48.4% in 2025–2026 against a state rate of 61.8%, and Dixie has fallen below the state in that subject every year on record. The same pattern repeats across cohorts — students who scored 66.7% in 3rd-grade ELA in 2024–2025 dropped to 48.4% as 4th graders, with similar declines the two years before. Statewide, ELA does not collapse the same way between grades, which points to a school-specific fourth-grade gap rather than a weak incoming group. Fourth-grade math also slipped to 60.2%, below the state's 67.3%.

Attendance is improving: chronic absenteeism was 14.9% in 2025–2026, down from 21.3% in 2022–2023 and below the district's 15.2%, though still higher than Brookville Elementary (7.5%) and Valley View Elementary School (13.6%). The student-teacher ratio is a low 14.8, and per-pupil spending was $8,743 in 2018–2019 — less than most Dayton City and Trotwood-Madison City schools, which Dixie generally outperforms. The school's effectiveness with low-income students has been notably strong (80th percentile in 2024–2025), and its special education students ranked in the 85th percentile in 2022–2023.
