Summary

Hamilton STEM Academy (K-6) is an elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 351 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Hamilton STEM Academy (K-6) has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 0-star rating.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.6% to 67.4% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 61.3% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with the school's rankings for African American, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student subgroups all in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools.

When comparing Hamilton STEM Academy (K-6) to nearby schools, the picture is not much brighter. Other Columbus City Schools District schools, such as Weinland Park Elementary School and Linden STEM Academy (K-6), also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, when looking at nearby charter schools, such as Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School and Graham Elementary and Middle School, these schools demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in addressing the needs of disadvantaged students in this area.
