Summary

Davey Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Kent, Ohio, serving 437 students as part of the Kent City school district.

Davey is having its strongest year in more than a decade of data. For 2025–2026 it ranks 521st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 67th percentile, with 3 stars — up from the 56th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 55th in 2023–2024. That puts it essentially tied with Holden Elementary School at the top of the Kent City elementaries, well ahead of Longcoy Elementary School (51st percentile) and Walls Elementary School (49th percentile). Among nearby schools, it trails Woodland Elementary School, Highland Elementary School and Fishcreek Elementary School in the Stow-Munroe Falls district, but matches Riverview Elementary School and outranks Brimfield Elementary School, Echo Hills Elementary School and Indian Trail Elementary School. Upper grades are a clear strength: 4th grade math (84.7% proficient) and 4th grade reading (74.6%) were the highest among Kent City elementaries and far above district and state averages, and 5th grade science (79.6%) and math (71.4%) were also strong. Third grade is the relative weak spot — 3rd grade math (62%) fell below the district and all three same-district peers, and 3rd grade reading (66.7%) was above the state but below those peers. Chronic absenteeism is a standout success at 13.3%, the lowest among Kent City elementaries and 11 points below the district, down from 23.1% in 2022–2023.

Context matters here: about 49% of Davey students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher share than the Stow schools or Field Local's Brimfield, but lower than its same-district peers. Davey's 2018–2019 per-pupil spending ($8,909) was below all Kent City peers and most Stow schools, and its 17.1 student-teacher ratio is typical for the area, yet results remain competitive. Subgroup data show real progress — low-income students rose to the 56th percentile — while students in special education (43rd percentile) and, in 2024–2025, African American students (22nd percentile) trail the school's overall standing; subgroup sizes may be small. The main opportunities are 3rd grade math and reading, those subgroup gaps, and holding onto the recent upward trend.
