Sullivant Avenue Community School

Sullivant Avenue Community School is the sole elementary public charter school located in the Sullivant Avenue area of Columbus, Ohio. With only 234 students enrolled, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a ranking of 1518 out of 1558 in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as its test scores are well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the 64.4% state average, and just 20% of 5th graders were proficient in science versus the 63.4% state average. The school also struggles with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 57%, which likely contributes to the low academic achievement. Without data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance.

The school's spending per student of $6,156 in the 2018-2019 school year is relatively low compared to the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 21.2 in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, both of which could be factors in the poor academic outcomes. Overall, Sullivant Avenue Community School faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and meeting the needs of its students.
