Best school
districts in the Dayton region for 2014
Versailles ranks No. 7 in region

Education is vital to the Dayton-region's economic recovery, which
makes the quality of the local schools an extremely important piece of
the larger recovery efforts. Having quality schools also helps attract
top talent to the region's workforce.
For many business leaders who move to a new area, schools are one of
the single-most important factors in determining what city in that
region they choose for making their new home. The performance of an
area's schools also can be a way to forecast what the local available
workforce will be like in the future, which could have an impact on
where companies choose to locate.
With that in mind, we have put together a ranking of 77 public school
districts in the Dayton region. The ranking is based on the performance
index scores from the Ohio Department of Education. It also includes
other factors to help compare schools, such as size, graduation rates
and number of standards met. The school districts included are those in
the nine counties that make up the official coverage area of the Dayton
Business Journal, including all or part of Butler, Clark, Greene,
Darke, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby and Warren counties.
Our hope is this will be a useful ranking for a wide range of people
and organizations. The more focus that is put on which school districts
are doing the best, and what areas are ripe for improvement at those
not performing as well, the better it will make the region overall.
