Summary:
The 45419 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spanning the Oakwood City, Dayton City, and Kettering City school districts. While the Oakwood High School and several Oakwood City elementary schools, such as Smith Elementary and Harman Elementary, are consistently ranked among the top schools in Ohio, the Horace Mann Elementary in the Dayton City district struggles with significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.
The Oakwood City schools stand out for their exceptional performance, with the high school and elementary schools receiving 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10-50 in the state. These schools boast proficiency rates well above the state and district averages, low chronic absenteeism, and low percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch. In contrast, the Dayton City's Horace Mann Elementary has a 1-star rating, with much lower test scores, a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.3%, and a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
The Kettering City district, represented by Beavertown Elementary and Orchard Park Elementary, falls somewhere in the middle, with schools performing better than Horace Mann but not quite at the level of the Oakwood City schools. This highlights the significant disparities in educational outcomes and resources between the different school districts in the 45419 zip code area, likely reflecting broader socioeconomic and demographic differences between the communities served.
