Coventry’s 2025–26 test proficiency was above Ohio in every listed subject/grade. Standouts include 5th-grade ELA at 88.9 (state 70.4), 6th-grade math at 85.1 (state 56.2), 5th-grade math at 76.7 (state 59.1), and 5th-grade science at 77.8 (state 62.7). Algebra I is a signature strength: 100% in 2025–26, after 94.7%, 92.3%, and 96% in prior years. Coventry’s 5th-grade ELA also tops Norton’s 81.9 and Barberton’s 86.4, and its 6th-grade math tops Green’s 74.4, Manchester’s 78.5, Norton’s 64.6, and Schrop’s 61.5. Eighth grade is a relative pressure point: Coventry’s math was 62, science 70.2, and ELA 60, below Green (76.1, 82, 78.5), Manchester (81.7, 85.6, 86.6), Norton (85.2, 81.2, 68.8), and STEM (85.7, 80.7, 81.9). Special education students ranked in the 90th percentile (4 stars), up from 75th, and low-SES students ranked 85th (4 stars), up from 72nd and 74th.
Chronic absenteeism is the clearest challenge: 26.8% in 2025–26, improved from 42.2% in 2021–22 but above the district’s 23.8% and much higher than Manchester’s 11.0%, Green’s 14.1%, STEM’s 15.0%, Miller-South’s 15.5%, Norton’s 16.9%, and Schrop’s 17.7%. It is better than Barberton’s 37.0%, I Promise’s 38.1%, Akros’s 52.9%, and Innes’s 63.9%. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 15.2, similar to Green and STEM (15.0) and Akros (15.4), but higher than Manchester (11.1) and lower than Norton (17.0) and Schrop (18.6). Overall, Coventry is improving, with notable Algebra I, early-grade, and subgroup strengths, while 8th-grade results and absenteeism are areas to watch.
