Summary

Brookside High School is a 9–12 public high school in Sheffield Village, Ohio, serving 415 students as part of the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City district in a lakeside community west of Lorain. It ranks 356th of 795 Ohio high schools (55th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from the 36th percentile in 2020–2021, while the district ranks 377th of 773 districts (3 stars). Enrollment is smaller than most nearby high schools, though larger than Clearview High School, Black River Career Prep High School, Success Academy and Lorain Preparatory High School.

Academically, Brookside exceeded the state proficiency rate in five of six End-of-Course subjects in 2025–2026, including American Government (84.9% vs. 71.6% state), Biology (76% vs. 67%) and English II (72.3% vs. 62.7%). Algebra I is the clear weak spot at 55.7% — below the state and district and down from 62.4% the prior year. Brookside outperforms Elyria High School, Clearview, Lorain High School, Success Academy, Lorain Preparatory and Black River Career Prep in nearly every subject, but trails Avon High School, Avon Lake High School and North Ridgeville High School across the board. Compared with Marion L Steele High School, results are mixed.

Its 98.2% graduation rate is among the highest locally, above North Ridgeville, Elyria, Clearview and the Lorain schools and just under Avon, Avon Lake and Amherst. Chronic absenteeism of 29.5%, however, is above the district's 24.1% and higher than Avon, North Ridgeville, Avon Lake and Amherst. Brookside serves a higher-poverty population (55.66% free/reduced lunch) than those neighbors, yet spends more per student ($12,116) and has a lower student–teacher ratio (13.6). Low-income, special education and gifted students all rank in the top third or better statewide.
