🚨 Why Your Support Matters Now
Dayton Public Schools are experiencing a “perfect storm” of challenges that directly impact student success. The data is clear — and urgent.
With ESSER funds expiring, the district faces a $9 million deficit.
Emergency school reconfigurations and consolidations are causing major learning disruptions.
Teacher turnover ranges from 16–22%, creating a revolving door of adults.
In critical subjects like math and science, students often learn from a virtual instructor with only a facilitator in the room.
DPS holds a 2‑star rating, signaling the district “needs support to meet state standards.”
Neighboring districts consistently earn 5 stars, widening the opportunity gap.
Yet, Career‑Technical Education programs shine with 4.5 stars, proving students excel when given resources.
.40.7% of students are chronically absent.
Among high schoolers, absenteeism spikes to 52–56%.
More than half of Dayton’s teens are missing the instructional time they need to graduate.
"We don't just see a 2-star rating; we see thousands of students with 5-star potential who just need someone to stay."
