Best Public Schools in Zip Code 44147

ZIP code 44147 — Broadview Heights, Ohio — is served by two schools in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City district: Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School (grades 6–8, enrollment 790) and Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School (grades 9–12, enrollment 1,181). The district ranks 20th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 97th percentile with 5 stars, and no elementary schools appear in this ZIP-level list.

Both schools are among Ohio's top performers and carry 5 stars. The high school ranked 18th of 795 high schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile), a position it has held steadily for three years, with a 99.0% graduation rate and an average End-of-Course proficiency of roughly 92.5% versus a state average of about 63.2%. Its strongest results are in American History (96.9%) and Biology (96.1%); its lowest reported proficiency, Geometry at 86.4%, is still more than double the state's 43.3%. The middle school ranked 29th of 1046 (97th percentile), and its most striking result is 100% proficiency in both Geometry and Algebra I in 2025–2026 and 2024–2025 — well above the district's 88.2% in Geometry and 92.6% in Algebra I. Those advanced EOC results likely reflect a more selective group of test-takers than the full middle school population.

The two schools differ most in math EOC performance and attendance. The high school's Geometry (86.4%) and Algebra I (88.7%) scores sit slightly below the district's, possibly because it tests a broader population. Chronic absenteeism diverges sharply: the middle school reports 6.9%, better than the district's 9.7%, while the high school reports 14.7% — above the district and more than double the middle school rate, even as its graduation rate and test scores remain excellent. Free/reduced lunch rates are modest (15.83% high school, 18.35% middle school), per-student spending was similar ($11,684 and $11,802), and the middle school has the lower student-teacher ratio (16.2 versus 18.4).
