Best Public Schools in Zip Code 45434

ZIP code 45434 has three schools—two K–5 elementaries and one 9–12 high school—all in the Beavercreek City district, with no middle school listed. They enroll 2,852 students: Beavercreek High School (1,640), Main Elementary School (725), and Valley Elementary School (487). The district ranks 158 of 773 Ohio districts, in the 80th percentile with 4 stars, but the schools differ sharply: Main is the academic standout, Valley is improving with strong attendance, and the high school has an uneven academic profile.

Main Elementary School is the strongest academic performer. It ranks 282 of 1,560 elementary schools in 2025–2026—82nd percentile, 4 stars—and has stayed high (85th percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025). Its 2025–2026 scores include 88.6% in 4th-grade math, the highest reported result here, plus 85% in 5th-grade English Language Arts and 80.5% in 5th-grade science; it is above the state in all 7 reported tests and above the district in 4 of 7. Valley Elementary School ranks 502 of 1,560—68th percentile, 3 stars—but has improved from 54th percentile in 2023–2024 to 68th in 2025–2026. Valley has the ZIP’s lowest chronic absenteeism (7.2% vs. district 12.7%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (15.3), yet its scores are above the state in every reported subject but below the district in all 7.

Beavercreek High School has a 96.8% graduation rate, matching the district, and strong humanities/science results: American History 88.5% vs. state 73.2%, Government 83.2% vs. 71.6%, Biology 83% vs. 67%, and English II 79.1% vs. 62.7%. Its math results are dramatically weaker: Algebra I 33.3% vs. district 86.1% and state 61.6%; Integrated Math II 4.8% vs. district 4.5% and state 35.3%; Geometry 42.4% vs. district 58% and state 43.3%. The high school’s rank percentile fell from 62 in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 to 52 in 2025–2026; chronic absenteeism is 19.3%, far above the district’s 12.7%, and its student-teacher ratio is the highest (23.2) versus Main (18.3) and Valley (15.3). Free/reduced lunch rates are all in the low 20s and spending is similar, so the differences look school-, course-, or cohort-specific rather than ZIP-wide economic differences.
