Summary
Longcoy Elementary School is a K–5 public elementary school in Kent, Ohio, serving about 280 students as part of Kent City Schools, a district ranked 252nd of 773 Ohio districts. In 2025–2026, Longcoy ranked 758th of 1,560 elementary schools statewide, placing it at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. That makes it middle-of-the-pack statewide but lower-middle among its immediate neighbors: within Kent City it trails Davey Elementary School and Holden Elementary School while edging out Walls Elementary School, and it also sits below Brimfield Elementary School and most Stow-Munroe Falls schools. A smaller enrollment can make scores swing more from year to year.
Results vary a lot by grade. Longcoy's clearest strength is 5th grade, especially math, where 71.4% of students were proficient — above the district (67.4%) and the state (59.1%). Fifth-grade science (69.6%) and ELA (73.9%) also beat state averages, though both trail district averages. The weakest area is 4th grade: ELA proficiency was 50.0% and math 56.8%, both below district and state, with 4th grade ELA tying for the lowest among Kent City's elementary schools. Third grade was closer to the district and above state. Overall, Longcoy was above the state average in 5 of 7 grade-subject tests but below the district average in 5 of 7.
The overall 51st percentile hides big differences between student groups. Low-income students ranked in the 30th percentile in 2025–2026, down from 60th in 2023–2024, and special education students ranked 53rd, down from 71st two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism was 20.3%, better than the district's 24.3% but higher than Davey (13.3%), Brimfield (14.0%), and the nearby Stow schools (6.0%–12.5%). Longcoy also serves more students from lower-income families — 59.64% eligible for free/reduced lunch — than Davey, Walls, Brimfield, or any listed Stow school, so comparisons aren't fully like-for-like. Per-student spending ($10,297 in 2018–2019) is mid-range among neighbors, and the 17.1 student-teacher ratio is moderate: higher than Stow schools but similar to Davey.
