Summary

Kenston High School is a 970-student public school serving grades 8–12 in the Kenston Local district in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, an area with several highly ranked nearby high schools.

Overall, Kenston High School remains an elite Ohio high school: it earned 5 stars and ranked 44th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the top 6% statewide. However, it has slipped within that elite tier; it was 12th of 800 in 2017–18 and 14th of 836 in 2021–22. Nearby, Chagrin Falls High School, Hudson High School, Aurora High School, West Geauga High School, and Solon High School currently rank ahead of it, while Orange High School is just behind and Twinsburg High School, Berkshire High School, and Crestwood High School are further back. Test proficiency is well above Ohio averages in every reported subject. American History (95.0%), American Government (92.6%), Biology (91.9%), and English II (91.9%) are relative strengths. Geometry is the clear weak spot at 69.4%—still far above the state average of 43.3%, but below its other end-of-course results and below most higher-ranked nearby schools. Algebra I is more competitive at 83.5%.

The school’s graduation rate is high at 97.8%, in line with the district and mid-high among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is a watch item: 13.2% at the school versus 8.9% for the Kenston Local district, and up from 9.6% the prior year. It is not the worst nearby—lower than Chagrin Falls High School, West Geauga High School, and Twinsburg High School—but higher than Solon High School and Aurora High School. Resource indicators show pressure: the student-teacher ratio rose from 13.1 to 18.8 over two years, higher than several nearby high performers. Free/reduced lunch has risen to 12.68%, and spending was $12,747 per student in the available 2018–19 data. Subgroup results remain generally strong, though effectiveness is lower for low-income and special education students (83rd and 89th percentiles, still 4-star outcomes). The takeaway: Kenston High School is strong statewide but faces stiff local competition.
