Original Research by School Decision on Kinder Elementary School
Kinder Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade in Miamisburg, a mixed-use suburb south of Dayton. The school is one of seven K-5 buildings in the Miamisburg City district, situated in a residential neighborhood rather than on a single campus.
The school's recent state test results show proficiency across the tested subjects. On reading, roughly two-thirds of students in grades three through five scored at proficient level or above; in math, the share was somewhat lower; in science, roughly two-thirds reached proficiency. These results position the school in the top quarter when compared against districts across Montgomery County on overall proficiency index. State test data on the school's earlier grades, kindergarten through two, is not available because those grades are not assessed under Ohio's state testing system.
The school's student body is predominantly white, with a substantial share of Black students and smaller shares of Hispanic students and students of multiple races. A significant majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, pointing to considerable economic need. Total enrollment is small for an elementary school of this grade span. The district implemented a lasting structural change in the 2024-2025 school year, reconfiguring all elementary buildings into separate K-2 primary schools and 3-5 intermediate schools, which affects which building families' children attend and the transitions between grades. The data reported here reflects the school's status as an intermediate school under this new configuration.
Miamisburg itself is in an active growth phase after decades of relatively flat population. Multiple new residential subdivisions are under development across the city, with hundreds of new family-oriented housing units in the pipeline, the majority aimed at families with school-age children. This growth context means the school may see enrollment increases over the coming years. Property values in the surrounding area are rising steadily, and housing is moderately affordable relative to national benchmarks. The city's civic anchors include Riverfront Park and the Sycamore Trails Park, a newly opened 75-acre facility, along with a historic downtown Main Street district with shops and restaurants.
The Miamisburg district sits at Ohio's 20-mill property tax floor, an automatic mechanism that raises school revenue when home values increase during reassessment cycles—a direct and ongoing financial impact distinct from neighboring districts without this status. Parent-relevant information about special education enrollment, English learner services, staffing, chronic absenteeism, or detailed course and program offerings was not available in the data reviewed, so a parent may want to seek that information directly from the school.
