North Olmsted City

North Olmsted City is an Ohio district with six schools — four elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving 3,539 students in grades PK–12, and it ranks 273rd of 773 Ohio districts (65th percentile) with a 3-star rating. Grade levels are cleanly divided: Birch Primary School serves PK–K, Chestnut Elementary School and Maple Elementary School serve grades 1–3, Pine Intermediate School covers 4–5, North Olmsted Middle School serves 6–8, and North Olmsted High School serves 9–12. Enrollment concentrates at the secondary level, where the high school (1,115 students) and middle school (813) together account for 54.5% of all students.

Pine Intermediate is the strongest elementary story: ranked in the 67th percentile with 3 stars and improving each year (57th to 63rd to 67th percentile), with 4th grade Math, 5th grade ELA, and 5th grade Science all above state averages. Maple posted the top 2025–26 3rd grade results (84.0% ELA, 74.0% Math) but was uneven the year before, when 3rd grade Math was 60.8%. The high school graduates 96.4% of students, climbed from the 45th to the 60th percentile, and beat state in most End-of-Course subjects, though Geometry (48.6%) remains its weakest. The middle school's Algebra I proficiency of 98.3% is the highest figure in the dataset, but it likely reflects a selected accelerated cohort rather than all students.

Chronic absenteeism is the district's clearest concern and worsens with grade level: elementary schools run 11.8% to 15.0%, all below the 19.8% district rate, while the middle school is 22.3% and the high school 27.5%. Birch Primary, which has no test data because it serves PK–K, has the lowest absenteeism (11.8%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.0); Pine has the highest ratio at 20.6. Nearly every reported school test score exceeded the state average — the lone exception is the middle school's 6th grade Math at 55.9% versus 56.2% state. Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for all schools, and spending figures date to 2018–19.
