Columbus City Schools District

The Columbus City Schools District operates 114 schools, including 73 elementary schools, 18 middle schools, 21 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving a diverse student population in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Clinton Elementary School, which ranks in the top 4% of Ohio elementary schools and has consistently high proficiency rates across subjects. Indian Springs Elementary School and Columbus Alternative High School also rank among the top schools in the state, with strong academic performance and graduation rates. However, the district faces significant achievement gaps, with many schools struggling with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates, particularly at schools serving economically disadvantaged populations.

The data reveals that while the Columbus City Schools District has pockets of excellence, there are also substantial challenges, with a wide range of performance across the district. Addressing these disparities and providing equitable resources and support to all schools will be crucial for improving outcomes for the district's diverse student body.
