Summary

Mckinley Elementary School is a K–5 public elementary school serving 239 students in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, part of the Fairport Harbor Exempted Village district, a small lakefront community east of Cleveland. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 1,037th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 34th percentile with 2 stars — below the state midpoint but above its own district's overall rank of the 21st percentile. About 72% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024, the highest rate among nearby schools with published data, so Mckinley serves a comparatively high-poverty population.

Achievement is uneven. Third grade is a bright spot: 70.3% of third graders were proficient in English language arts and 64.9% in math, both above state averages. Upper grades are the concern — fifth grade math proficiency was 29.7% and fifth grade science 43.2%, well below state figures of 59.1% and 62.7%. Averaging all tested subjects gives Mckinley roughly 52.9% proficient, ahead of nearby Elm Street Elementary School (40.6%) and Maple Elementary School (43.5%) but behind Chestnut Elementary School (57.9%). Schools in Mentor Exempted Village and Riverside Local generally rank in the 64th–75th percentile with proficiency rates of 70%–87%. With only 239 students, grade cohorts are small and scores swing widely — fifth grade ELA went from 90% to 48% to 62.2% over three years — so single-year numbers deserve caution.

Chronic absenteeism was 20.5% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 31.9% but the second-highest among nearby schools, behind only Lake Erie Bilingual Academy at 41.0%. It has dropped substantially from 31.9% in 2023–2024. Per-student spending was $9,945 in 2018–2019, near the bottom of the local group, while the student-teacher ratio improved to 14:1 in 2024–2025 — comparable to Mentor schools and better than most Painesville City Local and Riverside schools. Class size, at least, is not a disadvantage.
