Summary

Union Elementary School is a grades 2–6 school at 418 W Martindale Rd in Union, Ohio, part of the Northmont City district near Dayton, serving 539 students — the largest graded elementary in its Northmont peer group.

On the 2025-26 Ohio State Tests, Union ranks 755th of 1,560 Ohio schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars). It scores above the state average in 6 of 9 tested subject and grade combinations, but sits below the Northmont City district average in 8 of those 9 — the district's 68th-percentile standing isn't matched by this building. Northmoor Elementary School (88th percentile, 4 stars) beats Union in every comparable subject and grade, and its poverty rate is only about 6 points lower. Northwood Elementary School (65th percentile) also ranks higher despite slightly higher poverty. Scores have slid steadily: fifth-grade science fell from 78.8 to 61.9 across four years, with similar declines in fifth- and sixth-grade reading and fourth- and fifth-grade math. Third- and fourth-grade reading are the exception, rebounding above the state average in 2025-26 after a rough 2024-25.

Two strengths stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 16.9%, below the district's 20.1% and far below the nearby Trotwood campuses — Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy (71.6%), Westbrooke Village (36.8%) and Trotwood-Madison Early Learning Center (36.6%). However, Union's student–teacher ratio of 20.7 is the highest among its peers, and per-student spending of $9,862 is mid-pack. The share of students receiving free or reduced lunch rose from 41.2% to 52.3% since 2022-23, and special education and low-income students score below the school average.
