Schools in Zip Code 44129

ZIP code 44129 in Parma, Ohio contains three schools serving 2,083 students — a K–12 charter, Constellation Schools: Parma Community, and two K–4 elementary schools, Thoreau Park Elementary School and Ridge-Brook Elementary School — and it has no district-run middle or high school, so any student in grades 5–12 must attend the charter or leave the ZIP.

Among the two elementaries, Thoreau Park Elementary School posts the strongest overall proficiency (58.6%) and the steadiest state rank, while Ridge-Brook Elementary School has the best attendance in the ZIP, with chronic absenteeism of 15.6% and 4th grade ELA that clears the state bar. The Constellation Schools: Parma Community charter is by far the largest school (1,259 students) and the only one with a graduation rate (84.0%), and it improved on 16 of 20 tests year over year; however, it also has the lowest proficiency (45.8%), the highest chronic absenteeism (48.9%), and steep gaps in upper-level math (Algebra I 28.0%, Geometry 17.3%).

The two Parma City elementaries spend roughly $11,600–$12,400 per student, compared with $6,861 at the charter, though those spending figures date to 2018-2019. Parma City as a district ranks 464th of 773 (40th percentile, 2 stars), and both elementaries carry 2 stars; Thoreau Park has been consistent (37th → 40th → 39th percentile) while Ridge-Brook has swung more widely. The clearest takeaways: the ZIP's strengths are Ridge-Brook's attendance, Thoreau Park's consistency, and the charter's graduation rate and broad gains, but the charter's high absenteeism and weak upper-level math, and the absence of any district secondary school here, are the biggest concerns.
