Summary

Rushmore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huber Heights, Ohio, serving 620 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Huber Heights City School District, which is ranked 564 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Rushmore Elementary's performance on the Ohio State Tests is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 35.4% in 6th grade to 66.7% in 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 51.9% to 69.1%. In English Language Arts, Rushmore's proficiency rates ranged from 45.5% in 3rd grade to 66.3% in 5th grade, while the state averages were 61.3% to 67.7%. Rushmore's performance is also below that of nearby schools within the Huber Heights City School District, such as Wright Brothers Elementary, Valley Forge Elementary, and Charles Huber Elementary.

Rushmore Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.6% to 28.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high absenteeism rate may be contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $9,289 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the state average, but lower than some of the nearby schools within the district, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.6 in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the ratios of some nearby schools, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.
