Summary

Parkside Elementary School is a K–4 school in Solon, Ohio, serving 502 students as part of the Solon City district, which ranks 2nd out of 773 Ohio districts with 5 stars. Parkside itself is a sustained statewide standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 6th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, with 5 stars and a 100th percentile rank, and it has placed in the statewide top 10 every year in its displayed rank history — 2nd in 2023–2024, 5th in 2020–2021, and 6th–10th in the other years shown.

Test scores sit near the ceiling. In 2025–2026, Parkside's proficiency rates were 97.4% in 3rd grade math, 99.1% in 4th grade math, 98.3% in 3rd grade ELA, and 96.2% in 4th grade ELA, roughly 32–35 percentage points above state averages in every tested subject. Over the last four displayed years, scores stayed in tight ranges: 95% to 100% in 3rd grade math, 96% to 100% in 4th grade math, 96% to 98.9% in 3rd grade ELA, and 95% to 96.8% in 4th grade ELA. Chronic absenteeism also improved sharply, falling from 13.4% in 2021–2022 to 5.5% in 2025–2026, now below the district rate. Nearby, Ledgeview Elementary School posted 2025–2026 proficiency of 79.7% (3rd math), 84.1% (4th math), 83.5% (3rd ELA), and 77.8% (4th ELA) — solid, but 15–18 points lower. Carylwood Intermediate School, Columbus Intermediate School, and Green Inspiration Academy were far lower.

Subgroup effectiveness rankings are another strength: Parkside has ranked 2nd of 615 for African American students, 2nd of 935 for Special Education students, and 2nd of 1,467 for Low Socio Economic Status students, all at the 100th percentile. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 17.33% in 2024–2025, with spending of $13,982 per student in 2018–2019 — high among nearby schools — and a student-teacher ratio of 19.1 in 2024–2025. Locally, Grace L Roxbury Elementary School ranks slightly higher overall and Dorothy E Lewis Elementary School has lower absenteeism — small differences among three elite Solon schools.
