Brooklyn City

The Brooklyn City district in Ohio is a small two-school system serving about 1,138 students on one shared campus address on Biddulph Road: Brooklyn School, covering grades K–7 with 668 students, and Brooklyn High School, covering grades 8–12 with 470 students. Because the district has one elementary and one high school but no separate middle school, grade 8 is housed with the high school — a detail that shapes how results are reported.

Brooklyn High School is the stronger-ranked school locally, reaching the 51st percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, compared with the 36th percentile and 2 stars at Brooklyn School and the 32nd percentile with 2 stars for the district. The high school also reports a 96.8% graduation rate and beats the state in American Government (85.7% proficient, 14.1 points above), American History (77.2%), Biology (70.3%), English II (66.3%), and Algebra I (63.6%). Its clear weak spot is 8th-grade math at 32.4% — 19.6 points below the state's 52.0% — though that figure improved from 21.9% the year before.

Brooklyn School's biggest concern is math: every tested grade from 3 through 7 sits 13.5 to 15.3 points below the state, with 7th-grade math at 35.1% and 5th-grade math at 43.8%. ELA is uneven — 3rd grade is a bright spot at 70.9%, 7.5 points above state, while 6th grade is 40.5%, 15.5 points below. Chronic absenteeism is 34.8% at the high school versus 23.4% at the elementary and 27.8% districtwide, so the elementary is better than average and the high school is worse. Resources differ too: the high school has a 14.0 student-teacher ratio and $11,449 in 2018–19 per-student spending, against 17.5 and $8,095 at Brooklyn School, though those spending figures are historical. Free/reduced-lunch data are only available for the high school (67.02%), so poverty comparisons across the two schools remain incomplete.
