Summary:
ZIP code 45248 is home to four public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all within the Oak Hills Local district in suburban Cincinnati, with a combined enrollment of about 4,214 students — one high school and three elementary schools.
Two elementaries stand out. Charles W Springmyer Elementary School posts the strongest results in the ZIP: 4 stars, 78th percentile, and an average of 79.0% proficient across its seven tested subjects, along with the highest per-student spending ($10,751) and the smallest enrollment (437). John Foster Dulles Elementary School is the most consistent — a 4-star rating in all three years of available data, never below the 77th percentile — and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism (10.2%) and the lowest share of lower-income students (26.1% free/reduced lunch) while beating the district average in all seven tested measures. Both are well above state norms.
Oakdale Elementary School is the clear concern: its rank slid from the 84th percentile to the 62nd over three years (4 stars to 3), it is the only school below the district average in most tested subjects, and it has the highest elementary absenteeism (20.1%) and the largest share of lower-income students (45.2%). Oak Hills High School, with 2,255 students, beats the state in all six End-of-Course subjects and graduates 95.9% of its students, but carries the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism (28.9%) and trails the district in Algebra I (69.5% vs. 79.5%). One pattern worth watching: all three elementaries declined in aggregate year over year, while the high school improved.
