Summary:
Brunswick, Ohio, a suburban community in Medina County, is served by the Brunswick City district, which has 8 public schools in this data set — 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school — enrolling about 5,931 students altogether (44.6% elementary, 23.2% middle, 32.2% high). The district ranks 137th of 773 Ohio districts, in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars, and its elementary schools score well above state averages in every tested grade and subject.
Crestview Elementary School is the clear standout: the only 5-star school here, at the 95th percentile, with the lowest chronic absenteeism (6.9%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (19.53%) in the group. Hickory Ridge Elementary School (84th percentile, 4 stars) pairs strong scores with 7.6% absenteeism, while Brunswick Memorial Elementary School (85th percentile, 4 stars) earns a high rank despite 31.77% free/reduced lunch. Huntington Elementary School and Walter Kidder Elementary School have improved their percentile ranks steadily. Brunswick Middle School posts exceptional advanced-math results — Geometry 100% and Algebra I 98% proficient — and Brunswick High School graduates 98.5% of students with strong Biology, English II, and history scores.
Applewood Elementary School is the main concern: the only 3-star school (67th percentile), with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (39.58%) and several scores below the district. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the two secondary schools, both 16.4%, above the district's 14.0%. High school Algebra I (61.5) sits at the state average and below the district. Still, poverty is not destiny — Huntington and Memorial outperform despite higher need — and spending or class size alone does not explain results.
