Summary:
Lewis Center, Ohio has 13 schools serving about 11,539 students — 9 elementary, 2 middle, and 2 high schools — all within the Olentangy Local district, which ranks #57 of 773 in Ohio at the 93rd percentile with 5 stars. Because every school here sits inside a strong district, the differences below are relative to an already high baseline.
At the high school level, Olentangy High School ranks #39 of 795 (95th percentile, 5 stars), with a 97.6% graduation rate and about 89.7% proficiency across six EOC subjects, ahead of Orange High School at about 86.5%. Among middle schools, Olentangy Shanahan Middle School ranks #59 of 1,046 (94th percentile) with roughly 86.3% proficiency, well ahead of Olentangy Orange Middle School at about 78.0%. The top elementary tier is Peachblow Crossing Elementary (88.2% average, #92 of 1,560), Heritage Elementary School (88.0%), Shale Meadows Elementary School (87.7%), and Alum Creek Elementary School (86.4%). For context, the district elementary average is about 85.0% and the state about 63.8%.
Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level: about 6.5% in elementary, 12.3% in middle, and 15.6% in high school, against a 9.2% district rate. Orange High's 18.2% is the highest in the list, while Shale Meadows has the lowest at 4.5%. Advanced math is exceptional — both middle schools reach 100% Geometry proficiency and roughly 98% in Algebra I — but broader math has gaps: Orange Middle's 8th-grade math is 52.4%, and both high schools trail the district's 91.4% Algebra I figure, with Orange High at 80.0%. Lower-poverty elementaries with low absenteeism post the strongest outcomes; Peachblow Crossing has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 6.48%, while Olentangy Meadows Elementary School, at 28.22%, has the lowest elementary rank and proficiency average, yet still exceeds state averages in every listed subject. Student/teacher ratios and 2018–2019 spending do not cleanly predict performance here.
