Summary:
Northland Preparatory and Fitness Academy is the only school in this data set, so there is no other school in the area to compare it against. It is a K–8 elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, located at 1875 Morse Rd, with 133 students enrolled, and it acts as its own district for reporting purposes. Data covers state rankings for 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, test scores for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism for 2025–2026, and a student–teacher ratio of 10.2 in 2024–2025.
The biggest story is a dramatic one-year jump in performance. After two years as a 3-star school ranked around the 62nd–66th percentile, the school ranked 2nd out of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 — the 100th percentile with 5 stars. The Northland Preparatory and Fitness Academy district ranked 33rd out of 773, at the 96th percentile. Every reported Ohio State Test score in 2025–2026 was above the state average: grades 3 and 4 reached 100% proficient in both mathematics and English Language Arts, and grade 7 mathematics climbed from 13.3% to 85.7%. Grade 8 science rebounded from 47.1%, below the state's 63.0%, to 82.4%.
Two caveats are worth knowing. Chronic absenteeism was 69.5% in 2025–2026, a striking contrast with the top-tier test scores, so it is fair to ask whether the students who tested represent the full enrollment. Also, with 133 students spread across K–8, grade-level cohorts are very small, meaning a handful of students can swing a proficiency rate by many points. Free/reduced lunch information is unknown, and spending data is only available for 2018–2019, at $7,554 per student.
