The district ranks 32nd out of 773 Ohio districts (96th percentile) with 5 stars, giving every school in the ZIP a strong top-tier context.
Bellbrook High School (grades 9–12, 843 students) is the largest and highest-ranked school here, placing 30th of 795 high schools statewide (96th percentile, 5 stars) and improving from 72nd in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is 96.9%, and proficiency far exceeds state rates in every End-of-Course subject — Geometry stands out at 83.5% versus 43.3% statewide. Bellbrook Middle School (grades 6–8, 665 students) ranks 52nd of 1,046 middle schools (95th percentile, 5 stars) and is the advanced-math standout, with Algebra I proficiency at 100% in 2025–2026. Bell Creek Intermediate School (grades 3–5, 682 students) is the most improved, rising from 190th to 115th of 1,560 elementary schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), with the lowest chronic absenteeism (4.2%) and lowest free/reduced lunch rate (20.67%). Stephen Bell Elementary School (grades K–2, 535 students) is the smallest, has the lowest student-teacher ratio (17.8), the highest free/reduced lunch rate (26.92%), and no state test data because of its early grade span.
Across tested schools, proficiency runs well above state averages — roughly 24 to 28 points higher. The main watch item is Bellbrook High School's chronic absenteeism at 11.3%, notably above the district's 6.6% and well above the 4.2–5.8% at the other three schools, even though achievement remains high. Also note that Bell Creek reports 6th grade math scores despite being listed as grades 3–5, spending figures date to 2018–2019, and 100% figures may reflect small cohorts.
