Summary

Fort Island Primary Elementary School is a K–4 school at 496 Trunko Rd in Fairlawn, Ohio, serving 358 students in the suburban Copley-Fairlawn City district near Akron. It sits inside one of Ohio's strongest districts — Copley-Fairlawn ranks 75th of 773 Ohio districts — and Fort Island itself ranked 235th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-26, placing it in the top sixth of the state with 4 stars. Its statewide percentile slipped from 94th in 2016-17 to 80th in 2023-24 and 2024-25, then rebounded to 85th in 2025-26, its best showing since 2021-22.

Achievement runs well above state averages — Grade 3 math 82.7% proficient and Grade 3 ELA 85.2%, roughly 20 points above Ohio — but Fort Island trails its district average in 15 of 16 subject/grade/year comparisons since 2022-23. It is the lowest-ranked of the three Copley-Fairlawn primaries, behind Arrowhead Primary Elementary School (93rd percentile) and Herberich Primary Elementary School (91st). Being "last of three" here is still a very high bar. The clearest weak spot is fourth-grade literacy: Grade 4 ELA was 76.8% in 2025-26, the school's smallest margin over the state (+15.0 points) and below both district peers.

Attendance is a genuine strength — chronic absenteeism was 9.6% in 2025-26, below the district's 13.0% — and the school serves the highest poverty rate among its district peers, at 28.21% free/reduced lunch. Subgroup results show female students at the 89th percentile, low-income students at 78th, and special education students at 67th (3 stars), down from 81st the year before. Compared with Akron City schools three to five miles away, the gap is vast: Fort Island's Grade 3 ELA proficiency of 85.2% far exceeds Crouse Community Learning Center (25.0%) and Schumacher Community Learning Center (43.4%). The bottom line: this is a strong, well-resourced school whose most actionable opportunities are Grade 4 reading and special education support.
