Summary

Parkside Elementary School is a K–5 school in Concord Township (Lake County), Ohio, serving 551 students as part of Riverside Local Schools, on the eastern edge of a district that also draws from the Mentor, Painesville and Chardon areas. In 2025-2026 it ranked 171st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), the highest of nine comparable schools; the year before it reached 147th of 1,558 (91st percentile, 5 stars). Its own district ranks 217th of 773 districts (72nd percentile), so the school outperforms the district it belongs to by roughly 17 percentile points.

Parkside beats the state in every tested subject and grade, by 16.5 to 24.6 points, and beats its district in six of seven. The only line that merely ties is 3rd grade math (78.6 vs. 78.7). Fifth grade is the standout: 83.7 in math (+13.8 over the district), 92.8 in ELA (+12.0) and 81.4 in science (+5.8). That 5th grade ELA figure of 92.8 is matched only by Hopkins Elementary School (93.7) among nearby schools and far exceeds Orchard Hollow Elementary School (82.5), Riverview Elementary School (74.4), Chestnut Elementary School (61.1), Elm Street Elementary School (59.1) and Maple Elementary School (47.5).

Chronic absenteeism is another strength: 9.3% in 2025-2026 versus 24.4% district-wide, and it has stayed between 7.4% and 10.8% for five straight years while the district ran 18.6%–24.4%. Same-district peers Buckeye Elementary School (15.6%), Riverview (15.9%) and Melridge Elementary School (19.4%) all run higher. Parkside gets these results with the lowest per-student spending ($10,292 in 2018-2019, stale data) and largest classes (20.6:1) in its district group. Two things to watch: 3rd grade math fell from 91.8 to 78.6 in one year, and 2025-2026 subgroup ranks placed low-income students at the 47th percentile (2 stars) and special education students at the 30th percentile (2 stars) — volatile, small-population figures, but below the school's overall standing. Over ten years the school has never fallen below the 76th percentile or 4 stars.
