Summary

Kinsner Elementary School is a K–5 school with 643 students in the Strongsville City School District in Strongsville, Ohio, and it ranked 251st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (84th percentile, 4 stars). That is a strong result, but it is a step down from the school's peak: Kinsner was a 5-star, 94th–96th percentile school from 2020–2021 through 2022–2023, held at the 88th percentile for the next two years, then reached 84th percentile in 2025–2026. Even so, every provided 2025–2026 test proficiency score is above the Ohio state average.

Compared with its own district, results were mixed. Kinsner was above district in 3rd-grade math and 4th-grade ELA, essentially even in 4th-grade math and 5th-grade ELA, and below district in 3rd-grade ELA, 5th-grade math, and 5th-grade science. Its 4th-grade ELA score (86.9%) was the highest among all listed nearby schools, while 3rd-grade ELA (73.4%) trailed Surrarrer Elementary School, Muraski Elementary School, Crestview Elementary School, Hickory Ridge Elementary School, Walter Kidder Elementary School, and Brunswick Memorial Elementary School. Nearby, Brunswick's Crestview Elementary School is the standout at the 95th percentile, and same-district Muraski Elementary School sits at the 88th percentile.

Two features set Kinsner apart from neighbors: exceptionally low chronic absenteeism of 5.7% — less than half the district's 13.6% and lower than every nearby school listed — and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate among them at 18.04%, though that rose from 11.52% in 2023–2024. Kinsner is also the largest nearby school with the highest student-teacher ratio (19.6), yet still posts above-state proficiency, which suggests effective instruction and a positive school climate. Internal gaps are worth watching, including a widening difference between boys (91st percentile) and girls (79th percentile) and a decline for low-income students. The clearest focus areas are 3rd-grade ELA and 5th-grade ELA and science.
