Summary:
Zip code 45223 is served by two public elementary schools — Parker Woods Montessori School (PK–6, 625 students) and Chase School (PK–7, 263 students) — both part of Cincinnati Public Schools, a district ranked 609 of 773 Ohio schools (21st percentile, 1 star). Free/reduced lunch percentages are blank for both schools, so economic information could not be analyzed.
Parker Woods Montessori School is the stronger performer. Its current average proficiency is 58.2% across 10 reported tests, and it scored above the district average in all 10. Chronic absenteeism is 24.1%, well below the district's 44.6%, and its rank rose from 1054/1577 in 2023-2024 to 1001/1560 in 2025-2026, holding 2 stars. One caveat: a 7th Grade Math result of 100% appears even though the school is listed as PK–6, so treat that figure as an anomaly. Excluding it, Parker Woods averages 53.6% across the 9 common tests, up about 4.3 points from the prior year. Even so, it beats Ohio state averages only on that anomalous result.
Chase School has the more favorable student-teacher ratio, 11.7 versus Parker Woods' 19.2, with similar per-student spending, yet its current average proficiency is 34.6% across 9 tests, down from 39.4% the prior year. It scored above the district average in only one current test: 3rd Grade ELA at 64.3%, which is also the only test where it outperforms Parker Woods. Its 3rd Grade Math, however, fell from 79.3% to 46.4%. Chronic absenteeism is 59.2% — 14.6 points above the district and 35.1 points above Parker Woods — and its rank dropped to 1275/1560 (18th percentile, 1 star). Chase's bright spot, 3rd Grade ELA, does exceed both district and state averages.
