Cuyahoga Falls City School District

The Cuyahoga Falls City school district in Ohio consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 407 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Gordon Dewitt Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on state tests, with 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science among the elementary schools. Silver Lake Elementary School also performs well, with 3 out of 5 stars, and has high proficiency rates in math and English language arts, as well as the highest science proficiency rate among the elementary schools. While Cuyahoga Falls High School is only rated 2 out of 5 stars, it has the highest graduation rate (88.9%) and the best performance on state tests, particularly in American Government and History.

The data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, which is 24.3% and higher than the state average. Additionally, there are significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, particularly in math and science. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Elizabeth Price Elementary (76%), Preston Elementary (71%), and Bolich Middle School (63%), tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting potential equity issues that need to be addressed.
