Maize Road Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1369 and 1486 out of around 1600-1700 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Maize Road Elementary School. Additionally, some of the nearby charter schools, such as Northland Preparatory and Fitness Academy and Columbus Bilingual Academy-North, outperform Maize Road Elementary School on academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students.
