Best Public Schools in Zip Code 44133

ZIP code 44133 in North Royalton is served by three public schools — North Royalton Elementary School (grades PK–4), North Royalton Middle School (grades 5–8), and North Royalton High School (grades 9–12) — all part of the North Royalton City School District. Together they enroll 4,125 students, and the district ranks 81st of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 90th percentile with 4 stars.

The high school is the academic standout: it ranks 68th of 795 Ohio high schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), a rating it has held for three years, with a 98.0% graduation rate and proficiency above state averages in all six End-of-Course exams, from 93.5% in American Government down to 63.5% in Geometry — still roughly 20 percentage points above the state. The middle school also shines, ranking in the 87th percentile with 4 stars and posting extraordinary advanced math results: Algebra I at 100% proficiency in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and Geometry at 96.2% in 2025–2026. The elementary school remains above state averages but has slipped from the 92nd percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024 to the 82nd percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, a decline driven mainly by 3rd grade math falling from 88.3% to 78.0%.

Attendance follows a clear grade-level pattern: chronic absenteeism rises from 11.8% at the elementary school to 18.3% at the middle school and 19.9% at the high school, so the elementary sits below the district's 16.6% while the other two are above it. Resource patterns differ as well — the middle school spends the most per student ($12,362), has the lowest student-teacher ratio (18.2), and serves the highest free/reduced lunch rate (34.19%), while the elementary school has the largest enrollment and the highest student-teacher ratio (22.3).
