Summary

Ridge-Brook Elementary School is a K–4 school at 7915 Manhattan Ave in Parma, Ohio, serving 341 students — the smallest of the three Parma City elementaries — in a high-poverty community where 73.5% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–24.

The school holds a 2-star rating and ranked 1040 of 1560 Ohio elementary schools (33rd percentile) in 2025–26, a position that has barely shifted in ten years: its rank has never left roughly the 31st–47th percentile band and it has never earned more than 2 stars. Its clearest strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 50.9% in 2021–22 to 15.6% in 2025–26 — well below the district rate of 24.4% and better than nearby John Muir Elementary School (20.2%) and Thoreau Park Elementary School (22.9%). Even so, the school's overall rank still trails those two peers, suggesting better attendance has kept it competitive rather than launched it upward.

Achievement splits sharply by grade. Third-grade English language arts is the weak spot at 41.2% proficiency — more than 22 points below the state (63.4%), the lowest figure in the school's 2025–26 results, and declining three years running. Fourth-grade English language arts is the bright spot at 63.2%, matching the state and beating John Muir (47.6%). Students with disabilities improved from the 5th percentile (0 stars) in 2023–24 to the 49th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26, and low-income students rank at the 42nd percentile, above the school overall. For context, Global Village Academy, 1.6 miles away with a similarly high poverty rate, ranks in the 66th percentile with 4.6% absenteeism on much lower per-student spending. Ridge-Brook's challenges are concentrated in early-grade reading.
