Summary

Binns Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 294 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 688 out of 828 districts in Ohio.

Binns Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 47.4% to 57.8% over the past few years, well above district and state averages. Student performance on Ohio state assessments is also well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.4% of 5th graders at Binns were proficient in math, compared to 56.7% statewide. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools for African American, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students.

While the nearby West Mound, West Broad, and Lindbergh Elementary schools perform similarly to or slightly better than Binns, they still lag well behind state averages, suggesting systemic challenges within the Columbus City Schools District. In contrast, the Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy, a public charter school less than a mile from Binns, outperforms the district on most academic measures.
