Summary

Gables Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 459 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gables Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.9% to 52.6% in recent years, well above state and district averages. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are also generally below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 39.3% to 71.7% in English Language Arts and 48.3% to 58.8% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 61.3% to 67.7% in ELA and 64.4% to 69.1% in Math. Gables Elementary's performance varies by student subgroup, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools for female and Asian students, but performing better for African American and Hispanic students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Evening Street Elementary, Greensview Elementary, and Windermere Elementary, Gables Elementary consistently underperforms, with higher chronic absenteeism and lower test scores. Despite spending $10,906 per student, which is slightly higher than the state average, Gables Elementary's challenges may not be solely due to resource constraints, as the nearby schools in the Worthington City and Upper Arlington City districts have lower student-teacher ratios and better overall performance.

The staff is kind, accommodating, and engaged with students. My son is currently in the second grade and is thriving at this school. The diversity of families is amazing...and I could go on and on. This is Columbus City’s finest primary school in my view. No complaints of any kind, just well deserved praise. Close Quote

I went to Gables all the way from kindergarten to 5th grade. I was very happy there. It's a great school, plus they have an ECLIPSE program. Close Quote
