Summary

Buckeye North Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Brilliant, Ohio, with 277 students. It is part of the Buckeye Local School District, which is ranked 529 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Buckeye North Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Buckeye North Elementary consistently outperforms the Buckeye Local district and the state of Ohio in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Buckeye North had 95.7% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to 72.7% for the district and 64.4% for the state. The school also ranks very highly for its special education students, placing in the top 72 out of 935 Ohio elementary schools in 2024-2025, indicating excellent support and resources for students with special needs. Despite having a high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, with 75.81% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, Buckeye North Elementary continues to perform well academically.

However, Buckeye North Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41.5% to 46.0% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. While the school generally outperforms other schools in the Buckeye Local district, such as Buckeye West Elementary School and Buckeye South Elementary School, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Steubenville City district, such as East Garfield Elementary, Pugliese Elementary West, and McKinley STEM Academy, which are among the top-ranked schools in the state.
