Summary

Kenston Middle School in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, enrolls 772 students in grades 4–7 as part of the Kenston Local district, and it is one of the state's strongest middle schools: it ranked 19th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026, the 98th percentile with 5 stars. That is no one-year spike — it ranked 29th in both 2024–2025 and 2023–2024 and has never fallen below the 93rd percentile since at least 2015–2016. The district itself ranks 24th of 773 Ohio districts (97th percentile, 5 stars).

Proficiency runs well above state averages across nearly every tested grade and subject. Across the reported tests, Kenston averaged about 87% proficient versus roughly 60% statewide — a gap of about 27 percentage points. Math 6 was 90.7% (state: 56.2%), Math 7 was 77.9% (state: 48.6%), and ELA 7 was 89.7% (state: 62.7%). Reported 8th-grade math was 100%, though since the school serves grades 4–7 that figure should be read cautiously. The clearest relative soft spot is 7th-grade math, which trails nearby West Geauga Middle School (87.3%), Solon Middle School (85.4%), Chagrin Falls Middle School (82.7%), and Harmon Middle School (80%).

Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, from 10.7% in 2024–2025 to 6.1% in 2025–2026 — better than the district's 8.9% and most nearby schools. Among student groups, low-income students rank in the 82nd percentile, still above average but below the school's other subgroup results and down from the 96th percentile in 2023–2024, so it is worth monitoring. The local peer group is unusually competitive: Orchard Middle School ranked 1st statewide in 2025–2026, Solon Middle School 5th, and West Geauga Middle School 14th. With an 11.53% free/reduced lunch rate, a 14.3 student-teacher ratio, and mid-range spending ($12,720 per student in 2018–2019), Kenston delivers elite outcomes without being the highest-spending school nearby.
