Summary

Ridgewood Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hilliard City Schools at 4237 Dublin Rd in Hilliard, Ohio, serving 598 students — a larger enrollment than most nearby Hilliard elementaries — and it has risen steadily from the middle of Ohio's elementary schools to near the top 10%.

In 2025–2026, Ridgewood ranked 164th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), up from the 48th percentile in 2018–2019, and well above its own district's profile (69th percentile, 3 stars). It also far outperformed nearby same-district schools: Norwich Elementary School (59th percentile), Beacon Elementary School (47th), and J W Reason Elementary School (40th). Ridgewood beat the district and state averages in every tested subject and grade in 2025–2026, averaging about 85% proficient versus roughly 74% for the district and 64% for the state, and it topped Norwich, Beacon, and J W Reason in every tested area. Its 5th grade results stand out most: 91.3% in math and 87.0% in science, more than 27 and 29 points above those nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism is another strength: 4.6% in 2025–2026, less than half the district's 12.2% and lower than every nearby Hilliard school — including Britton Elementary School. Compared with more affluent neighbors, Ridgewood generally beats Wickliffe Elementary School of Upper Arlington City except in 4th grade math and ELA, and it outpaces Daniel Wright Elementary School and Griffith Thomas Elementary School of Dublin City, trailing only the top-tier Windermere Elementary School. The main area to watch is effectiveness for low-income students, at the 64th percentile compared with the school's overall 89th, though that improved sharply from 39th the prior year.
