Summary:
ZIP code 45211 contains exactly one high school in this data set: James N. Gamble Montessori High School, a Cincinnati Public Schools school at 3036 Werk Rd that serves grades 7–12 with 700 students, so its record includes 7th- and 8th-grade test results alongside high school End-of-Course exams.
The school's brightest spot is American Government, where 67.1% of students were proficient — above the district's 65.3% and only 4.5 points below the state's 71.6%, and the only subject where it beats the district. It also posted large year-over-year gains in Algebra I (+19.5 points, to 34.7%), American History (+9.1), Biology (+7.8), and American Government (+6.7). Overall proficiency averages rose from 30.1% to 32.1%, in line with the district's 2.1-point gain. Still, the school ranks 691 of 795 Ohio high schools (13th percentile, 1 star) and trails the district in 10 of 11 subjects and the state in all 11. Math is the weakest area: 8th-grade Math 10.3%, Geometry 11.5%, and 7th-grade Math 14.4%; 8th-grade Math sits 41.7 points below the state, and Geometry 25.4 points below the district.
Completion and attendance are relative strengths: the graduation rate is 86.1% versus the district's 80.6%, and chronic absenteeism is 37.8% versus 44.6%, though still high. The student-teacher ratio is 16.4, and per-student spending of $8,154 comes from 2018-19, not the current year. Free/reduced-lunch status is not reported, which limits how fully the school's context can be judged. Improvement is uneven — End-of-Course results rose from about 31.9% to 38.4%, while 7th/8th-grade results fell from 28.0% to 24.6%, and the school's percentile rank slipped from 20th to 16th to 13th across three years.
