Summary

Kirtland Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 452 students in the Kirtland Local district in Kirtland, Ohio — a relatively low-poverty community where the school has ranked among the state's elite elementaries for years. In 2025–26 it placed #136 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranked #35 of 773 Ohio districts (95th percentile, 5 stars). Kirtland has earned 5 stars in each of the last four reported school years, and its statewide percentile has ranged from 84th to 94th over the past decade, so this is a stable record rather than a one-year spike.

Test scores are well above state averages in every reported subject and grade. In 2025–26, math proficiency reached 93.8% in both grades 4 and 5 (state: 67.3% and 59.1%), and grade 5 ELA was 92.7% (state: 70.4%). Those math results were the highest among nearby schools, and ELA was close behind — only Robert C Lindsey Elementary School and Hopkins Elementary School edged past Kirtland in some grades. Science is the relative weak spot: 75.6%, still above the state but below Lindsey, Hopkins, and Bellflower Elementary School, and down from 94.9% in 2022–23. Chronic absenteeism was low at 6.9%, down from 15.2% in 2021–22 and below the district's 11.5%.

Kirtland's free/reduced lunch rate of 15.49% (2024–25) was the lowest among nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.3 and per-student spending of $11,228 are mid-range — suggesting the strong results aren't simply a product of small classes or exceptional funding. Its special education students ranked #12 of 914 (99th percentile, 5 stars), an exceptional result, while the low-income subgroup's relative performance has slipped to above-average from top-tier. Among nearby districts, West Geauga Local ranks higher overall, while Mentor Exempted Village and Willoughby-Eastlake City trail Kirtland, with Willoughby-Eastlake schools showing far higher absenteeism and poverty rates and lower achievement.
