Original Research by School Decision on Brunswick Online School

Brunswick Online School, located in Brunswick, Ohio, is no longer in operation. The school was a regular public school serving grades three through eight in the Brunswick City School District, operating as an online educational program.

The most recent state assessment data available is from the 2021-22 school year, the only year for which results are recorded. At that time, the school had very small cohorts in each grade, with tested enrollment ranging from two students in sixth grade to nine students in eighth grade. Performance was mixed and highly volatile across grades and subjects.

In English language arts, results ranged from strong to weak. Third grade achieved proficiency at a respectable level, as did fourth grade, which showed stronger results. Fifth and sixth grades landed at moderate proficiency. By seventh and eighth grade, performance declined. Math results were more consistently below proficiency. Third grade held at a moderate level, but fourth and fifth grades dropped significantly. Sixth grade was a bright spot with all tested students meeting proficiency, but this reflected only a pair of students. Seventh grade fell back to very low proficiency, and eighth grade was particularly low. Science testing occurred in only fifth and eighth grades; fifth grade was at moderate proficiency while eighth grade was well below it.

Participation rates on assessments ranged from moderate to strong, suggesting the school made efforts to test enrolled students, though some did not sit for assessments.

Enrollment and demographic data were not available in the records, so the composition of the student body, counts of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, special education enrollment, or English learner population cannot be described. Similarly, teacher staffing, attendance patterns, discipline data, and program offerings are not documented in the available sources.

The school sat within Brunswick, a suburban community south of Cleveland in Medina County. The district itself has undergone significant recent change. Voters approved a substantial bond in May 2023 funding a master facilities plan, highlighted by a new high school slated to open for the 2027-28 school year. In November 2024, the district passed a renewal operating levy after an initial March failure, stabilizing day-to-day educational funding. These district-level investments and shifts provide context for how the broader system has evolved, though they occurred after this online school's last reported results.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
