Summary

Gordon Dewitt Elementary School is a K–5 school at 425 Falls Ave in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, serving 364 students as part of the Cuyahoga Falls City School District — the second-largest of the district's six elementaries and its strongest performer, ranking 366th of 1,560 Ohio schools (77th percentile, 4 stars).

That ranking sits well above the district itself (370th of 773 districts, 52nd percentile, 3 stars). Gordon Dewitt beats both district and state proficiency in every subject and grade tested, from 3rd-grade reading through 5th-grade science, and has done so in all 28 reported results across four years — a consistency no other school in this comparison group matches. Chronic absenteeism is 12.5%, roughly half the district's 23.1% and down more than 40% over four years. The school is also strong with higher-need students, ranking in the top tenth of Ohio schools for special education students (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and the top sixth for low-income students (86th percentile). Nearby Silver Lake Elementary School (75th percentile) gets similar results with about 8 percentage points less poverty, and the Stow schools that match it enroll far fewer low-income families.

Parents should know Gordon Dewitt achieves this with the largest classes in the group (a 17.3 student–teacher ratio) and lower per-pupil spending ($10,012 in 2018–19) than several lower-performing Cuyahoga Falls peers. Two things to watch: 5th-grade math proficiency has swung nearly 20 points between cohorts before rebounding to 75.9, and boys have outranked girls by 9 percentile points. Overall, this is a consistently strong, stable school.
