Summary:

The Kenton City school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Kenton Elementary School, Kenton High School, and Kenton Middle School. While the district faces some significant challenges, with all three schools performing below the state average on various metrics, there are also some bright spots that stand out.

Kenton High School shines with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.5% in 2024-2025 and strong performance on some state tests, such as 75.6% proficiency in American Government. Kenton Middle School also impresses with an exceptional 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I End of Course in 2023-2024 and relatively high proficiency rates in 7th grade English Language Arts.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and having high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.8% in 2024-2025. Kenton Elementary School generally performs below the state average on Ohio State Tests, while Kenton High School has mixed performance, with some strong results but also weaker areas. Addressing these district-wide issues should be a priority for school and Kenton City leaders.
