Summary
Redwood Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Avon Lake, Ohio, serving about 390 students as part of the Avon Lake City School District, a highly rated district that ranks 53rd of 773 Ohio districts — the 93rd percentile, with 5 stars.
Redwood's own statewide standing is even stronger. In 2025–2026 it ranked 85th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars — and it has been a 5-star school in every listed year since at least 2015–2016, never falling below the 91st percentile. Proficiency rates that year were 88.3% in 3rd grade math, 94.5% in 4th grade math, 86.2% in 3rd grade ELA, and 85.9% in 4th grade ELA, compared with Ohio state rates of 62.1%, 67.3%, 63.4%, and 61.8%. Among nearby schools, Redwood is the highest-ranked Avon Lake City elementary in this comparison, ahead of Eastview Elementary School (89th percentile) and Westview Elementary School (88th percentile), but behind Westerly Elementary School in Bay Village City, which ranks 33rd statewide — the 98th percentile. Redwood's 4th grade math result of 94.5% is essentially tied with Westview's 94.4%, and its 4th grade ELA result of 85.9% is well above Eastview's 75.5%, Westview's 75%, and the district average of 79%.
Chronic absenteeism at Redwood fell from 17.6% in 2021–2022 to 8.6% in 2025–2026 — better than the Avon Lake City rate of 15.4%, though Eastview (5.7%) and Westview (7.3%) are lower. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 15.13% in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $10,493 in 2018–2019, and its student–teacher ratio was 18.8 in 2024–2025. Available subgroup ranks suggest broad effectiveness rather than one group driving results: male students ranked 56th of 1,467 (96th percentile) and female students 106th of 1,452 (93rd percentile). For contrast, nearby Brookside Intermediate School had 22.1% absenteeism and Sheffield Academy had 58.5%. Overall, Redwood is a consistently high-performing, top-5% Ohio school; its main watch items are that a few nearby schools have lower absenteeism and that Westerly outperforms it on nearly every comparable measure.
