Original Research by School Decision on Beavertown Elementary School
Beavertown Elementary School is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Kettering, a dense residential suburb of Dayton. The school enrolls a diverse cohort of students, with a substantial share from families meeting federal income thresholds for free or reduced-price meals. The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of students identifying as two or more races, Black, Hispanic, and Asian. The school's enrollment is stable across its grade band.
Academically, Beavertown demonstrates solid proficiency across tested subjects. In English language arts, students performed above the midpoint among districts in Montgomery County. Math and science proficiency rates were also in the upper range within the county comparison set. Testing participation was complete across all subjects, indicating consistent assessment administration. Recent state testing data is available only for the most recent school year, so trend analysis over time was not possible.
The school sits in a suburban setting where most families own their homes. Housing values in the zip code are modest relative to national benchmarks, and rental costs are proportionally lower; the area works financially for families at moderate household incomes. The neighborhood has a car-dependent character overall, though specific commercial corridors rate as more walkable, and parks, bike paths, and shopping centers serve many subdivisions. The broader Kettering context includes an extensive parks system, recreation facilities, and a growing public transit network. Kettering is largely built out, so residential growth comes through infill projects and apartment conversions; employment anchors include Kettering Health, the Miami Valley Research Park, and public schools.
The Kettering City School District, which houses Beavertown, approved a permanent operating levy in November 2022 that increased property taxes district-wide; families should factor this into long-term housing and education planning, as the funding is projected to support district stability through mid-2026, after which further revenue decisions are expected. The district is also consolidating Van Buren Middle School and Kettering Middle School into a single campus beginning the 2026-27 school year, a structural change that will alter attendance zones, transportation, and building assignments across the district.
No information was available on the school's special education or English learner enrollment rates, chronic absenteeism, discipline data, specific course offerings, or staffing ratios. A parent interested in these details may want to contact the school directly. The school has an elementary grade band only, so no high school graduation rate applies. State testing results do not cover the youngest grades, as prekindergarten through second grade are not assessed under Ohio's accountability system.
