Summary

Brookside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 343 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Worthington City School District, which is ranked 175 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Brookside Elementary consistently performs well on Ohio State Tests, with several grade levels exceeding the Worthington City and state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 3rd grade students at Brookside had an 84.4% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to 76.5% for Worthington City and 64.4% for the state. The school has also shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as ranking 266 out of 1,466 Ohio elementary schools for Mathematics among male students and 444 out of 1,452 for female students in the same year.

However, Brookside Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.0% to 15.1% over the past few years, which is an area the school could focus on improving. Additionally, the school has a free and reduced lunch rate ranging from 25.95% to 30.97% in recent years, which is higher than some nearby schools in the Worthington City district, such as Worthington Hills Elementary (4.65%) and Evening Street Elementary (3.4%). This suggests the school may need to explore ways to support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure continued improvement and success.
