Summary

Walls Elementary School is a K–5 school in Kent, Ohio, serving 355 students as part of Kent City School District. The school has a moderately high low-income population — about 51.55% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Walls ranks 793 of 1,560 Ohio schools — 49th percentile, 2 stars — the lowest of the four Kent City elementaries compared here. Holden Elementary School and Davey Elementary School both reach the 67th percentile, and Longcoy Elementary School sits at the 51st. Walls was at the 57th percentile in 2024–2025 and around the 58th–61st in the years before, so this is a recent slip below the statewide median. Schools in the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District generally rank higher, from Woodland Elementary School at the 90th percentile to Riverview Elementary School at the 69th, while Indian Trail Elementary School and Echo Hills Elementary School are closer to Walls at the 53rd.

There are real bright spots: 5th grade English language arts is at 80.4% proficient, above the district (78.8%) and state (70.4%), and has climbed steadily over four years. Third grade math (71.4%) and ELA (69.8%) also beat district and state averages. The weak spots are concentrated in 4th grade math, which fell from 86.8% to 53.1%, and 4th grade ELA, which dropped from 71.7% to 50.0% — the lowest among nearby schools. Fifth grade math (54.9%) has been persistently below district and state. Chronic absenteeism is 18.2%, better than the district’s 24.3% but higher than Davey Elementary School (13.3%), Brimfield Elementary School (14.0%) and most Stow schools. Students from low-income families rank at the 40th percentile, a notable concern given they make up more than half of enrollment. Walls also reports the highest student–teacher ratio in the group, at 20.2.
