Summary:
The Cuyahoga Falls City School District serves roughly 3,476 students across eight schools — six elementary schools (K–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — and sits mid-pack statewide at 370th of 773 Ohio districts, the 52nd percentile, with 3 stars. Cuyahoga Falls High School is the largest school with 1,198 students (about 34.5% of the district), followed by Cuyahoga Falls Middle School at 508 and six elementaries totaling 1,770.
The biggest academic standouts are Gordon Dewitt Elementary School and Silver Lake Elementary School, both 4-star schools averaging around 78% proficiency — roughly 20 points above the district's lowest elementary. Gordon Dewitt beats district and state averages in all seven tested areas, while Silver Lake posts the district's top 5th grade ELA score at 89.3%. Richardson Elementary School is a solid 3-star performer, and the middle school's Algebra I result (84.6%) and the high school's Biology result (95.7%) far exceed state averages.
At the other end, Preston Elementary School, Elizabeth Price Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School are all 2-star schools averaging 57–61% proficiency, with particular weakness in 5th grade Science and math. Subject-level gaps are wide: 5th grade Science ranges from 81.0% at Gordon Dewitt to 34.4% at Price. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the high school (37.2%) versus 12.2–16.1% at elementaries, and it tracks achievement at both extremes. Notably, poverty and spending do not fully explain results — Gordon Dewitt has a 56.87% free/reduced lunch rate and the highest student-teacher ratio yet leads the district.
