District-Level NCES Analysis
Brunswick City operates 9 public schools serving 6,236 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Medina County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,243 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 55.8% local, 33.4% state, and 10.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 25/100, ranked #703 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (22 AP courses district-wide), a 744.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.6% White, 5.1% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Applewood Elementary School, with a diversity index of 32.3/100.
Its largest campus is Brunswick High School, enrolling 1,910 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is C R Towslee Elementary School, at 312 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Brunswick High School accounts for 30.6% of all Brunswick City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Brunswick City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Brunswick City school enrollment varies 6.1× across entities
Brunswick City school enrollment ranges from 312 students (lowest) to 1,910 students (highest), a spread of 1,598 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Brunswick City student-counselor ratio is 744:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Brunswick City chronic absenteeism rate is 22.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Brunswick City is typically wider than the Brunswick City-aggregate figure suggests.
Brunswick City has 9 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 6 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 6,236 students.
