Summary

Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Columbus City Schools District in Columbus, Ohio. With 198 students, the school faces significant challenges, ranking 1380 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.7% to 57.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance on Ohio State Tests is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was only 4.3%, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school's male students and students with special needs perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools in those categories.

While the nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Linden STEM Academy, South Mifflin STEM Academy, and East Linden Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, they generally outperform Duxberry Park. The high rates of poverty and the school's designation as an "alternative" elementary school may contribute to the challenges faced by Duxberry Park, and targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism and improve academic performance could be beneficial.
