Kilgour School

Kilgour School is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 567 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. A student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1 keeps class sizes manageable and gives teachers real room to work closely with students across every grade. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — powered by a 9.7 Academic score and a 9.1 Growth score.

That combination places Kilgour at #46 of 3,440 public schools statewide, ahead of 99% of all Ohio schools. Within Cincinnati, Kilgour ranks #8 among 171 public schools, a standing that reflects sustained, consistent performance across both proficiency and growth metrics rather than strength in a single area. Both scores carry real weight on their own.

A 9.7 Academic score signals that students are reaching proficiency benchmarks at rates that almost no other Ohio school matches. The 9.1 Growth score means students aren't just starting ahead — they're advancing measurably year over year. Together, they make Kilgour one of the strongest elementary options in Cincinnati for families who want both high achievement and steady forward progress throughout the K–6 years.
