Summary

Kensington Intermediate Elementary School is a grades 3–5 school in Rocky River, Ohio, serving 586 students as part of the top-ranked Rocky River City district, which ranks 7th of 773 Ohio districts.

Academically, Kensington has been one of Ohio's elite elementary schools for a decade. In 2025–26 it ranked 26th of 1,560 schools — the 98th percentile with 5 stars — and across 2015–16 through 2025–26 it never fell below the 98th percentile or 5 stars. In 2025–26, 5th-grade science was 96.8% proficient versus Ohio's 62.7%, 4th-grade math was 98% versus 67.3%, and 5th-grade math was 95.7% versus 59.1%. Every tested grade and subject was at 89.8% or higher, so there is no weak area. Among nearby schools, only Grant Elementary in Lakewood (126th statewide) and Lincoln Elementary (159th) come close; Gilles-Sweet Elementary (313th), Hayes Elementary (331st), Roosevelt Elementary (487th), and Horace Mann Elementary (751st) trail further behind, while Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary (1,029th), Riverside School (1,143rd), and Orchard Park Academy (1,290th) are in a different band. Goldwood Primary Elementary is the district's K–2 feeder school.

Chronic absenteeism was 6.5% in 2025–26, below the district's 10.5% and far below Riverside's 38.0% and Westpark's 50.6%, though Goldwood (4.4%) and Lincoln (5.7%) are lower. With 15.36% of students on free/reduced lunch — similar to Lincoln's 16.67% but well under Grant's 27.24% and Roosevelt's 47.64% — Kensington still posts much higher proficiency than those schools. Its student–teacher ratio (17.9) and per-student spending ($11,931) are mid-pack or lower than several Lakewood City and Fairview Park City peers. Low-income and special education students also perform at 94th–100th percentile levels, showing the school's success is broad-based.
