Summary:
ZIP code 45429 has five schools — three elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving about 3,919 students across the Kettering City School District, Centerville City, and Oakwood City. Enrollment is concentrated: Kettering Fairmont High School alone has 2,445 students (about 62% of the ZIP), and the three Kettering schools together account for nearly 90% of area students.
Oakview Elementary School is the strongest tested school here, ranking 212 of 1,560 (86th percentile, 4 stars) with proficiency above state levels in every reported subject and low chronic absenteeism at 8.0%. Van Buren Middle School (74th percentile, 4 stars) posts exceptional advanced math results — 100% proficient in Geometry and 96.1% in Algebra I — though 8th grade math is 50%, slightly under the state. Kettering Fairmont High School graduates 96.4% of students and scores well in government, history, biology, and geometry, but has the ZIP's highest absenteeism at 23.3% and very low Integrated Math II proficiency at 7.4%, versus 35.3% statewide.
Driscoll Elementary School sits in the highly ranked Centerville district (82nd percentile), but its own rank is 65th percentile with 3 stars and its subject results are mixed. Julian & Marjorie Lange School Elementary School is kindergarten-only, so it has no test scores in this data; it belongs to the top-ranked Oakwood district (98th percentile, 5 stars), has the lowest absenteeism at 5.7%, and the highest per-student spending ($13,667). Absenteeism generally rises with grade level across the ZIP, and free/reduced lunch rates — Oakview 45.91%, Driscoll 34.2% — do not track neatly with results.
