Original Research by School Decision on Five Points
Five Points is an elementary school serving grades two through five in Centerville, Ohio, within the Springboro Community City School District. The school enrolls a student body of slightly over one thousand, distributed fairly evenly across its grade span, with a student population that is predominantly white and skews middle to upper-middle class based on the housing values and household income of the surrounding area.
Academically, Five Points shows strong performance on Ohio's State Tests. Across grades three through five, the school's proficiency rate in math is above four-fifths of students, while English language arts proficiency sits in the low-to-mid eighties. Science proficiency, tested at grade five only, lands at roughly four-fifths of students. The school participates at near-universal rates in state testing. These results place Five Points below the midpoint of overall proficiency when compared to other districts in Warren County, suggesting solid but not top-tier achievement relative to neighboring districts.
Centerville itself is a residential Dayton suburb with a strong civic fabric anchored by nearly fifty parks connected by hiking and biking trails, and a historic Uptown district centered around the Four Corners at Main and Franklin Streets. The city is auto-oriented overall, though the historic district functions as a walkable retail and dining enclave. Major institutional anchors—Miami Valley Hospital South and Sinclair Community College's South Campus—sit on separate suburban campuses away from downtown. The city is in active growth, particularly around the Cornerstone of Centerville mixed-use development at Wilmington Pike and I-75. Home values in the area are moderate to solid for the region, and rental housing has grown with new apartment and townhome construction.
A significant change is underway in the Springboro district. In November 2025, voters approved a bond measure that will reshape the district's grade configuration over the coming years. Under this plan, Five Points is slated to transition from serving grades two through five to serving grades three through six. The bond also funds a new PreK-2 elementary school on the Easton Farm site, improvements at the junior high, a new athletics complex, and district-wide safety and technology upgrades. The district will have the capacity to offer optional full-day kindergarten as part of this restructuring, while continuing to offer the half-day program mandated by Ohio at no cost. Design work is expected to proceed through 2026, with construction potentially beginning in 2027 and completion timed for the 2029-30 school year. For families considering Five Points now, this means the school's grade configuration and enrollment will shift materially within the next few years.
The surrounding housing market is active. Home values in the Five Points zip code are around the county median, with modest year-over-year appreciation. Rental housing has expanded with new apartment communities and townhome projects tied to the Cornerstone development. The economic context shows moderate unemployment and stable household income levels typical of suburban Dayton. Mortgage rates and rents are both relevant considerations for new households entering the area.
Five Points serves a school-age population and provides a foundational elementary experience within a district that has invested in capital improvements and locked in ongoing funding through a permanent improvement levy since 2022. The school's test results reflect competent instruction across core subjects, though parents should understand that these results sit modestly below the county average and that significant grade-level reorganization is planned within the next few years.
