Summary

Brown Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hilliard, Ohio, serving 456 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Hilliard City School District, which is ranked 278 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brown Elementary consistently outperforms the Hilliard City and Ohio state averages in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 87.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 72.4% for Hilliard City and 64.4% for Ohio. The school's performance in English Language Arts is also strong, with 85% of 3rd-grade students and 75% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, Brown Elementary's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 77.8% is significantly higher than the Hilliard City (72%) and Ohio (63.4%) averages. The school excels in serving specific student subgroups, with male students and special education students performing exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% and top 10% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively.

However, the school's performance with English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is an area of concern, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. Additionally, Brown Elementary has seen a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 5.1% to 17.2% over the past few years. While the school consistently outperforms nearby J.W. Reason Elementary and Avery Elementary schools, it lags behind Hoffman Trails Elementary in overall ranking and performance in several subject areas, suggesting there may be best practices or strategies that Brown Elementary could learn from.
