Summary

Kenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bowling Green, Ohio, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school is part of the Bowling Green City School District, which is ranked 280 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenwood Elementary School consistently outperforms the Bowling Green City School District and the state of Ohio in various standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Kenwood had 81.6% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to 77% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school also has strong performance among specific student subgroups, with female students ranking 404 out of 1,452 Ohio elementary schools, while male students ranked 786 out of 1,466 in the 2024-2025 school year. However, Kenwood's performance among Hispanic students and students with disabilities has been inconsistent over the years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support.

When comparing Kenwood Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Bowling Green City School District, it performs better than Crim Elementary School in most academic areas but lags behind Conneaut Elementary School, which is the highest-performing school in the district. Kenwood's spending per student ($8,686 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, which may impact the resources and support available to students. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 12.4 in recent years, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students.
