Original Research by School Decision on Redwood Elementary School
Redwood Elementary School is a public school serving pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in Avon Lake, Ohio, a residential lakefront suburb west of Cleveland in Lorain County. The school enrolls students across all early grades, with a moderate total enrollment spread fairly evenly from pre-K through grade four.
The school's recent state testing data shows strong performance in the elementary grades tested. In mathematics, measured proficiency among third and fourth graders reached a high level, with nearly all students scoring at proficient or above. English language arts proficiency was slightly lower but still well above half the cohort. The school's performance on these recent measures places it in the top quartile for overall proficiency when compared to other district schools in Lorain County.
The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of students identifying as Hispanic, multiracial, or Asian. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting relatively lower economic need across the enrollment compared to schools serving higher-poverty areas. The school does not report whether students receive special education services or English learner support; those enrollment figures were not available in the data.
Avon Lake itself is an active, growing community. The city is undergoing significant residential expansion, with multiple new housing developments under construction and a large lakefront redevelopment project in planning stages. The area offers a mix of waterfront estates and modest single-family homes, with home values notably higher than the state benchmark. The community includes parks, a public library, bike trails, and access to Lake Erie, though most daily life and commerce are reached by car rather than on foot. Major employers include Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant, Lubrizol, and nearby healthcare and manufacturing firms.
The school district passed a new operating levy in May 2025 after voters rejected a larger bond measure in November 2024 that would have funded school construction. That earlier rejection means the district's buildings remain on their existing trajectory, and families considering the area should factor property tax costs into housing decisions, as new levies directly affect the annual tax bill on home value.
Redwood Elementary fits families seeking a primary-grades school in a growing suburban setting with solid academic performance and a relatively stable, predominantly white peer group. The school's early-grade mission means there are no high school outcomes or graduation data to report; state testing results reflect third and fourth graders only. A parent interested in the school's support services, class size, or teaching approach may want to reach out directly to the school, as those details were not available in this profile.
