Summary

Brookside Elementary School is a K–5 school in Columbus, OH serving 319 students in the Worthington City district — a high-performing district in the 78th percentile statewide. Brookside ranks 379th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars, a big climb from 48th percentile and 2 stars in 2015–2016.

Overall, students here score well. Averaging the seven reported grade-level results gives roughly 77.8% proficiency, compared with about 76.1% districtwide and 63.8% statewide. Math and science are the strengths: every math grade and 5th-grade science came in above district averages, and 5th-grade math jumped 17.3 points in a single year, from 59.0% to 76.3%. English/language arts is more mixed — 4th grade beat the district, while 3rd and 5th grades were slightly below it, though still above the state. Two other numbers stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 9.3%, well under the district's 15.2% and far better than nearby Dublin City schools (17.1%–17.7%) or Gables Elementary School in Columbus City Schools District at 30.9%. And its student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is the lowest of any nearby school, down from 16.4 in 2022–2023.

Among Worthington schools, Brookside outranks Liberty Elementary School, Worthington Estates Elementary School, and Granby Elementary School, but trails Worthington Hills Elementary School, Evening Street Elementary School, and Bluffsview Elementary School, which serve more affluent populations. One caveat: results are uneven across student groups. Low-income students rank around the 31st percentile statewide, English language learners around the 44th, and special education students around the 48th, while gifted students rank in the 91st percentile — a real equity gap worth asking about.
