Summary

North Royalton Elementary School is a PK–4 school at 16400 State Rd in North Royalton, Ohio, serving 1,519 students as part of the North Royalton City district, which ranks 81st of 773 Ohio districts. The school ranked 278th of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars — a solidly above-average result, though below its own peak of 96th percentile in 2017–2018 and 92nd percentile in 2023–2024. Test scores are clearly above state averages: 3rd-grade math 78% proficient versus 62.1% statewide, 4th-grade math 90.8% versus 67.3%, 3rd-grade ELA 77.6% versus 63.4%, and 4th-grade ELA 78.3% versus 61.8%.

Compared with nearby schools, North Royalton outperforms Pleasant Valley Elementary School, Dentzler Elementary School, and Green Valley Elementary School — all Parma City schools — in most comparable grades, and generally outperforms Chapman Elementary School. Fourth-grade math is a standout strength at 90.8%, slightly above Brecksville-Broadview Heights Elementary School at 90.1%. However, Hinckley Elementary School, Crestview Elementary School, Whitney Elementary School, and Brecksville-Broadview Heights post stronger 3rd-grade math and ELA results, making early-grade reading and math the clearest academic gap.

Structurally, North Royalton is large, with a 22.3 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 — the highest among nearby schools and up sharply from 17.7 in 2022–2023. Chronic absenteeism was 11.8% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 16.6% but higher than the top nearby schools, which range from 3.3% to 7.8%. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate rose to 29.89% in 2024–2025 from 15.3% a year earlier. Notably, the school's effectiveness for low-socioeconomic-status students and English language learners sits at or above its overall 82nd percentile, suggesting strong support for those groups.
