Original Research by School Decision on Broadway Elementary School
Broadway Elementary is a small second and third grade building located on the North Hyatt Street campus in Tipp City, an expanding suburb north of Dayton. The school sits within the Tipp City Exempted Village district, which serves a community in clear growth phase, with major residential development underway and a recently approved school bond that will reshape the district's physical footprint.
The school's third-grade students scored well on state assessments in 2023-24, with proficiency in reading at a strong level and math proficiency also solid. Performance in both subjects placed Broadway in the top quartile among Miami County districts when measured by overall proficiency. State testing data for second grade was not available, as Ohio's state tests begin in third grade. The school tested all its third graders; participation was complete in both subjects.
The student body is predominantly white, with a modest share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school serves small to mid-sized cohorts in each grade, typical for a building that houses only two grades. Data on students with IEPs and English learners was not provided in the school's records.
This school faces immediate transition. In March 2024, Tipp City voters approved a substantial bond issue to fund a new preschool-through-eighth-grade building on the same North Hyatt Street campus. Construction broke ground in October 2025. As part of this consolidation, Broadway Elementary is slated to be sold or demolished once the new building opens. Nevin Coppock Elementary and Tippecanoe Middle School will also be removed from service, while L.T. Ball Intermediate will be repurposed. This means students and families now at Broadway will transition to the new facility, ending the school's current operation.
Tipp City itself is a mixed-use small city functioning as a bedroom community for Dayton while maintaining a preserved historic downtown along Main Street, with boutique retail and restaurants within a walkable core. Beyond downtown, the city is suburban and car-oriented. A major housing development, Hyatt Trails, approved in 2025, will add a substantial number of new single-family homes adjacent to the school complex over the next several years, signaling continued growth in school-age enrollment. The district's operating levy was renewed in May 2025, securing stable annual funding for operations. Housing values in the area are moderate relative to national benchmarks, and median household income is solid, reflecting the community's character as an established bedroom community with manufacturing and logistics employment.
For a family with children in second or third grade, Broadway's current enrollment is stable and its academic performance is strong. However, the imminent closure and transition to the new PK-8 building is the defining context. A parent considering this school now should confirm the timeline and enrollment process for the move and understand that this is a temporary home for their child before integration into the unified new facility. The school offers traditional elementary instruction within a small, stable setting, but its future as a distinct building ends within the next year or two.
