Summary:
ZIP code 45403 contains exactly one middle school, Wright Brothers Middle School, serving grades 7–8 with 374 students in the Dayton City district. Because there is only one school, families cannot compare multiple public middle schools within the ZIP; the most useful context is how this school compares with its district, the state, and its own prior years. The data show low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, with no free/reduced-lunch percentage available and spending information only from 2018–2019 at $8,196 per student.
In 2025–2026, the school ranked 1021 out of 1046 Ohio schools in the state rank history—the 2nd percentile—and earned 0 stars. That followed 1002 out of 1036 (3rd percentile) in 2024–2025 and 1005 out of 1046 (4th percentile) in 2023–2024. The Dayton City district overall ranks 725 of 773 districts, in the 6th percentile with 0 stars, so the school’s 2nd-percentile rank is even lower than the district’s overall position. Its student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was 17.8.
Every reported test area was below district and state in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 1.4% in Math 8, 7.3% in Math 7, 11.7% in Science 8, 11.0% in ELA 8, 13.6% in Algebra I, and 20.8% in ELA 7; state rates for those tests ranged from 48.6% to 62.7%. Average proficiency across the six reported tests was about 11% at the school, versus about 19–20% in Dayton City and about 56–57% statewide. ELA 7 and Algebra I improved year over year, from 15.6% to 20.8% and from 9.1% to 13.6%, but both remain far below district and state levels. Chronic absenteeism was 56.5%, compared with 43.8% for the district—more than half of students were chronically absent.
