Summary

Hickory Ridge Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 391 students in Brunswick, Ohio, part of the Brunswick City school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 246th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 84th percentile with 4 stars, while the Brunswick City district ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide. Its rank history shows steady improvement: it sat at the 68th percentile in 2016–2017 and has generally stayed between the 78th and 85th percentiles since 2018–2019.

Attendance is a standout strength. Chronic absenteeism is 7.6%, roughly half the district rate of 14.0%, lower than every other Brunswick elementary except Crestview Elementary (6.9%), and well below Huntington Elementary (12.2%), Walter Kidder Elementary (13.1%), Applewood Elementary (13.2%), and Brunswick Memorial Elementary (13.8%). Academically, the school averaged about 82.1% proficient across seven tested areas, versus 80.5% for the district and 63.8% statewide. In Brunswick, only Crestview Elementary (about 88.9%) scored higher. Nearby, it is similar to Kinsner Elementary (82.0%), below Muraski Elementary (83.8%), and above Chapman Elementary (76.0%). Per-student spending of $11,270 (2018–2019) is the highest among Brunswick elementaries, yet the student/teacher ratio of 17.0 is the second highest in the district. The free/reduced lunch rate nearly doubled, from 13.47% in 2022–2023 to 24.04% in 2024–2025.

Fifth grade is the academic bright spot: in 2025–2026, science was 83.6% proficient (district 80.0%, state 62.7%), math 84.7% (district 77.4%, state 59.1%), and ELA 89.0% (district 85.3%, state 70.4%); 3rd-grade ELA was 88.1%. The clearest concern is 4th grade, where ELA fell to 69.6% — below the district's 77.3% and the lowest among Brunswick elementaries — and math was 83.1% versus the district's 86.3%, though both remain above state averages. Subgroup results show special education students improving to the 58th percentile, while low-SES students slipped to the 63rd percentile.
