Summary

Holden Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kent, Ohio, serving 229 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Kent City School District, which is ranked 308 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holden Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 78.3% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with 71.9% of 3rd-grade students, 70.6% of 4th-grade students, and 63% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, outperforming the state and district averages. In English Language Arts, Holden Elementary School's 4th-grade students had a 73.5% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 61.9%.

However, Holden Elementary School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 26.6% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. This may be due to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to the elementary schools in the neighboring Stow-Munroe Falls City School District, Holden Elementary School's performance is somewhat lower, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts.
