Summary

Brush High School is a public high school located in Lyndhurst, Ohio, serving 1,008 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the South Euclid-Lyndhurst City school district. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, there are some key areas that differentiate its performance.

Brush High School's four-year graduation rate has declined from 91.3% in 2023-2024 to 86.8% in 2024-2025, which is lower than the state average of 88.8%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 33.7% to 51.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 20.2% rate at Mayfield High School, a nearby high-performing school. Brush High School's test scores are also generally below the state and district averages across various subject areas, such as a 25.8% proficiency rate in Geometry compared to the state average of 42.8%.

Interestingly, Brush High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well for Asian, African American, and White students, it struggles with Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Ohio high schools for these subgroups. This highlights the need for more equitable and inclusive practices to support the academic success of all students. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, such as Beachwood High School and Shaker Heights High School, could be crucial in improving the overall quality of education at Brush High School.

Sunday, November 30, 2025

Our family has had an overall positive experience, especially with the honors and band programs. Our child has been in the school district since kindergarten and has good friends. It is too bad the district does not provide transportation (busing.) We are looking forward to several upcoming improvements to the building, thanks to the generous community passing a recent levy.
