Those scores translate directly into statewide rank.

Chestnut Ridge sits at #14 among 1,742 Ohio elementary schools and #30 overall among 3,440 Ohio public schools — placing it squarely in the top one percent statewide.

Located in a rural area, Chestnut Ridge Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
