Original Research by School Decision on Regeneration Bond Hill
ReGeneration Bond Hill is a small, early-grades-only charter school district serving kindergarten through fourth grade in the Bond Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. The entity consists of a single school and operates as part of a broader ReGeneration Schools network. Publicly reported, the network has expanded its Cincinnati footprint from this one K-4 campus to include additional campuses across Bond Hill and Avondale; families enrolling in kindergarten here can now progress through eighth grade within the network rather than transferring elsewhere after fourth grade. The district has also received a federal charter expansion grant to add further Cincinnati campuses serving Opportunity Zones through the end of the current decade.
The enrollment is small, distributed evenly across the five grade levels served. The student body is predominantly Black, with a small multiracial population and very few students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility and the counts of students receiving special education or English learner services were not available in the records reviewed, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the composition of students by economic need and any specialized support services.
State testing results were not available. This is typical for a district serving only early grades; Ohio does not administer statewide proficiency assessments at the kindergarten through fourth-grade levels, so no comparable academic data appears in the public record. The school does not report a graduation rate, again because it serves only elementary grades. These gaps reflect the grade band the school covers, not a reporting issue.
Among Hamilton County's districts where data could be compared, ReGeneration's chronic absenteeism rate falls below the county midpoint, a positive sign that students are in the building regularly. The district's per-pupil spending sits in the lower range when compared to other county districts, a reflection common among newer or smaller charter operations.
Information about the school's specific academic approach, curriculum, course offerings, staffing, or day-to-day learning environment was not available from public sources. Parents considering enrollment should reach out to the school directly to understand its educational philosophy, teaching methods, and the academic pathway it aims to provide in these early grades. The charter status means the school operates independently under a contract with the state, so its governance and accountability structure differ from traditional public schools; clarifying how that works in practice and what it means for family involvement may be helpful as well.
