Summary:
The South Scioto Academy area is served by a single school — South Scioto Academy — a K–8 charter school with 224 students in Columbus, Ohio, and because the South Scioto Academy district contains only that one campus, every district figure describes the same building. Statewide, the school ranked 858th of 1,560 schools (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, and its district ranks 477th of 773. Its rank history has been volatile: 31st percentile in 2023–24, 51st in 2024–25, and 45th in 2025–26.
Mathematics is the clearest strength. Fourth grade math scored 88.2% proficient against a state figure of 67.3%, and seventh grade math hit 76.2% versus 48.6% — a 27.6-point advantage. Eighth grade math was 60% versus 52%. Fifth grade science reached 84.2% against 62.7%, a sharp rebound from 10.5% the year before. Across all grade-level tests in 2025–26, 7 of 14 were at or above the state, and subject averages show Science ahead of the state by 12.1 points and Mathematics by 4.8. Overall, the school's composite climbed from roughly 48% in 2024–25 to about 61%, putting it roughly level with the state average.
English Language Arts is the opposite story. Proficiency drops with every grade level — 65.0, 64.7, 52.6, 41.2, 33.3, and 24.0 from grades 3 through 8 — leaving 8th grade ELA 34.3 points below the state, the widest gap in the data. Chronic absenteeism stood at 66.1% in 2025–26, the most severe indicator reported, though no earlier year is available for comparison. Note that with roughly 224 students across nine grades, each tested grade holds only about 20–30 children, and year-over-year grade comparisons involve largely different students, so single-grade swings should be read with caution. Spending is listed at $5,070 per student for 2018–19, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is unknown.
