Summary:
ZIP code 45140 (Loveland, Ohio) is home to eight public schools — five elementary, two middle and one high school — serving 5,284 students across the full K–12 pipeline plus early childhood programs. Six belong to Loveland City, one to Sycamore Community City and one to Milford Exempted Village. Two schools, Loveland Primary and Loveland Early Childhood Center, serve grades PK–2 and have no state test results because those grades are not assessed.
Parents will find no low-performing school here: every school beats the state average in every tested subject, and the two largest districts rank in the top 5% of Ohio. The standout is Symmes Elementary, which posted 100% proficiency in 5th grade math two years running, has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP (4.7%) and the smallest classes (15.4 students per teacher) — all despite the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (26.52%). Loveland Middle recorded 100% Algebra I proficiency both years and the biggest single-subject gain (8th grade math, 60.1% to 74.2%). Loveland High ranks 56th of 795 (93rd percentile) with a 97.8% graduation rate, while Loveland Intermediate improved in nearly every subject.
Two areas deserve attention. Loveland High has the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism at 17.3%, above its district's 12.7% — the only metric where a local school trails its district. Meanwhile Loveland Elementary slipped in 4th grade math (91.8% to 85.9%) and reading, and McCormick Elementary is weakest in 3rd grade (74.7% math, 70.4% ELA). Both look like short-term dips rather than decline, especially since momentum across the ZIP is broadly upward.
