Summary

Kenton Elementary School is a K–6 school in the Springfield City School District in Springfield, OH, serving 485 students. Statewide, it ranked 1174th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 25th percentile with 1 star. Its parent district is ranked 704th of 773 Ohio districts — 9th percentile, 0 stars. Kenton’s rank history is mostly 1 star, with a brief 2-star period in 2016–2018. Within nearby Springfield City elementaries, Kenton is one of the stronger options: among same-district nearby schools, its 25th percentile is second only to Snowhill Elementary School (35th percentile, 2 stars).

In 2025–2026, Kenton generally outperformed the district average and most same-district nearby schools, but remained below Ohio averages in almost all subjects. Its standout result was 5th grade English Language Arts: 71.2% proficient, above the state’s 70.4% and far above the district’s 46.0%. 5th grade science was 53.0% proficient (district 29.3%, state 62.7%), and 5th grade math was 39.4% (district 20.4%, state 59.1%). The clear weak spot was 6th grade math: 17.0% proficient, below the district’s 19.4% and far below the state’s 56.2%. Fourth grade math also dipped slightly below district (35.0% vs 37.6%). Nearby Kenton Ridge Elementary in Northeastern Local is much higher: 54th percentile, 3 stars, and generally at or above state levels.

Kenton’s results vary across student groups, suggesting its supports are not equally effective for all populations. Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength but still high: 29.4% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 34.7% and better than several same-district peers such as Snyder Park Elementary School, Kenwood Elementary, and Warder Park-Wayne Elementary School. However, Snowhill Elementary School, Lagonda Elementary School, Fulton Elementary School, and Kenton Ridge Elementary have lower rates. Enrollment of 485 is the largest among nearby same-district Springfield City elementaries, and its student–teacher ratio of 16.7 is the highest among them. The most actionable priorities are sustaining 5th grade gains, addressing 6th grade math and the 4th grade math dip, closing gaps between student groups, and continuing to reduce chronic absenteeism.
