Summary

Whitney Elementary School is a K–5 school in Strongsville, Ohio, serving 426 students at 13548 Whitney Rd and part of the Strongsville City district; it ranks 91st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 94th percentile, or five stars.

Academically, Whitney performs well above both its district and the state. Across the seven tested subject and grade combinations, it averages roughly 88% proficient, versus about 83% for Strongsville City and 64% for Ohio. It leads Muraski Elementary School and Chapman Elementary School on all seven measures and Surrarrer Elementary School on five, with Surrarrer ahead only in 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA. Its statewide ranking has climbed from 249th (85th percentile) in 2020–2021 to 91st (94th percentile, five stars), slightly above where it stood in 2015–2016.

Attendance is the clearest standout: 5.3% of Whitney students are chronically absent, less than half the district's 13.6% and lower than every comparison school, from Dentzler Elementary School (12.5%) to Brook Park Elementary School (20.5%), and down from 12.3% three years ago. The school also ranks in the top decile statewide for low-income students (94th percentile), English learners (92nd percentile), and both male and female students (96th percentile). Per-student spending of $13,235 (2018–2019) is the highest among its same-district peers, even though its student–teacher ratio (19.4) is larger than Surrarrer's (14.8). The soft spot is 4th-grade ELA, at 80.3% — just 0.8 points above the district. Note that the gifted-and-talented figure dates to 2017–2018 and should not be read as current.
