Summary

Community STE(A)M Academy - Xenia is a mid-sized alternative public school in Xenia, Ohio, serving 230 students in grades 4 through 11 as its own district. Because it stops at grade 11, the school does not report a graduation rate; students finish their senior year elsewhere.

Academically, social studies and biology are the brightest spots. In 2025–2026, American Government (86.4) and American History (88.5) both topped the state (71.6 and 73.2), and Biology reached 77.6 versus 67 statewide. English II (66.7) and Integrated Math I (64.3) also beat state averages, as did 5th-grade Science and 6th- through 8th-grade ELA. Math is the weak point: every middle-grade math result fell below the state, and Integrated Math II scored 15 against 35.3. Compared with the closest alternative, Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners -Xenia, this school scored higher in every directly comparable subject — for example, ELA 7th grade 71.9 vs. 30 and math 8th grade 38.9 vs. 7.7. It also outperformed Summit Academy School Dayton and The International School in comparable grades. Dayton Regional STEM Schools remains the regional benchmark, with a 98.7% graduation rate and proficiency mostly in the 70s–90s.

Chronic absenteeism is high but improving: 40.6% in 2024–2025 fell to 34.7% in 2025–2026. That is far above Dayton Regional STEM Schools (8.2%) and Mad River Local Schools Remote Learning Center (9.6%), but well below Summit Academy Xenia (64.0%) and Summit Academy Dayton (67.9%). The free/reduced lunch rate more than doubled in one year, from 16.13% to 37.83%, while the student-teacher ratio improved from 20.3 to 17.6. Year-to-year scores swing widely, so families should read single-year results with caution. Priorities appear to be math instruction and reducing absenteeism.
