Elementary Programming

After growing enrollment within the District, the District, which was then led by Superintendent Dr. Laura Blessing, conducted town hall meetings at all seven elementary buildings during the 2022-2023 school year. At the time, each elementary school housed grades K-5, with Medlar View also housing some preschool students. However, it was found that some buildings were overcrowded while some had small student populations. This lead to some schools receiving more federal funding than others. After hosting the town hall meetings, district officials spent the 2023-2024 school year reviewing grade bands and visiting grade banded schools, including Stingley Elementary in Centerville. After all of this, the changes went into effect during the 2024-2025 school year. This gave the District 4 primary schools (grades K-2, with some housing preschool aged students) and 3 intermediate schools (grades 3-5).

Miamisburg Middle School

Miamisburg Middle School opened in 2011, replacing the former Wantz Middle School and the Neff building. The school was constructed to consolidate middle-grade students into a single facility serving grades 6–8; previously, sixth-grade students attended a separate building while seventh- and eighth-grade students attended Wantz Middle School. Both former buildings were demolished several years after the new middle school opened.

The building has a capacity of approximately 1,500 students and is organized into three separate academic wings, one for each grade level. The design was intended to create a "school within a school" environment for students. Facilities include a dining hall with seating for approximately 500 students, a large gymnasium that can be divided into three sections, wireless-enabled classrooms, a courtyard space for students, and a playing field located south of the campus.
