Summary

Brown Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hilliard, Ohio, serving 448 students in the Hilliard City school district. In 2025–2026, it ranks 285th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools—the 82nd percentile with 4 stars—above the district, which ranks 238th of 773 Ohio districts, in the 69th percentile with 3 stars.

Academically, the school’s 2025–2026 proficiency scores beat district and state averages in every listed test except grade 5 math, where it was slightly below the district but still above the state. Grade 3 math (84.7%), grade 4 math (88.9%), and grade 3 English language arts (87.7%) are the highest among nearby schools, and grade 5 science is strong at 76.2%. Grade 5 math is the clearest soft spot: 71.4%, just under the district’s 72.8% and behind Hoffman Trails Elementary School, Avery Elementary School, and Darby Creek Elementary School, though above the state. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 3.5%, compared with 12.2% for the district and the lowest among nearby schools.

The school has improved from the 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2018–2019 to the 82nd percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, the strongest long-term upward trend among nearby Hilliard schools. It now leads Scioto Darby Elementary School (77th percentile), Hoffman Trails Elementary School, Avery Elementary School, and Darby Creek Elementary School (all 74th), and ranks well ahead of Beacon Elementary School, J W Reason Elementary School, Hilliard Horizon Elementary School, and Prairie Lincoln Elementary School. For parents, strengths include early-grade math and reading, science, attendance, and strong results for special education students. Watch grade 5 math, the low-income student achievement gap—whose subgroup rank was 58th percentile versus the school’s overall 82nd percentile—and rising economic need and class size: free/reduced lunch rose from 21.03% in 2022–2023 to 27.9% in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio rose from 15.4 to 17.0. The only spending figure available is from 2018–2019, so it cannot be used to judge current funding.
