Summary:
There is one public school in this area — Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School, a K–5 elementary school at 2400 Mock Rd in Columbus (43219) that also operates as its own district, Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School — enrolling about 389 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Academically, the school is on a clear upward path. In 2025-26 its average proficiency across the seven tested grade-and-subject areas was 67.7%, compared with the state's 63.8%; a year earlier it was 60.6% against the state's 63.5%, meaning the school moved from roughly three points behind to roughly four points ahead of Ohio overall. Fifth grade is the strongest: ELA 81.7% (state 70.4%) and math 71.7% (state 59.1%), a margin of +12.6 points. Fourth grade also beats the state in both ELA (69.2% vs. 61.8%) and math (75.4% vs. 67.3%). Third grade is the weak spot — ELA 48.0% vs. the state's 63.4%, and math 56.0% vs. 62.1% — the only tested area still behind the state. Notably, the school's gap to the state improved in all seven areas year over year. Its rank rose from 884th to 706th of roughly 1,560 Ohio schools, moving from the 43rd to the 55th percentile and from 2 stars to 3 stars.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.3%, a comparatively modest figure that pairs well with above-average proficiency. Two caveats are worth knowing: the reported student–teacher ratio of 35.3 is unusually high for an elementary school and deserves a question at a school visit, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, while the $8,094 per-student spending figure is from 2018-19 and too old to reflect current resources. Note also that year-over-year grade comparisons reflect grade levels, not the same students followed over time.
