Summary

Walls Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kent, Ohio, serving 354 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Kent City School District, which is ranked 308 out of 828 districts in the state.

Walls Elementary School generally performs on par with or slightly above the district and state averages on state tests, particularly in science and English language arts. The school excels in supporting its special education students, ranking in the top 20% of Ohio elementary schools for this group. However, the school struggles with its low socioeconomic status and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 50% of Ohio elementary schools for these groups. Compared to nearby schools, Walls performs similarly or slightly better than other Kent City elementary schools but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District.

One concerning trend at Walls Elementary is a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.0% in 2023-2024 to 26.6% in 2024-2025, which is well above the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 99.15% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors warrant further investigation and intervention to address the underlying causes and support the school's student population.
