Sullivant Avenue Community School

Sullivant Avenue Community School is the only school in this area — a standalone K–6 elementary charter on Columbus's west side serving about 301 students, where the Sullivant Avenue Community School district and the school are the same organization, so there is no second school to compare it against.

On outcomes, this school sits in the bottom few percent of ranked Ohio schools, holding 0 stars and a rank of 1470 of 1560 (6th percentile) in 2025–26, after 3rd percentile in 2024–25 and 9th percentile in 2023–24. In 2025–26, its best result in any grade or subject was 6th grade English Language Arts at 40%, against a 56% state figure — the closest it comes to the state benchmark, and still below it. Eight of nine reported comparisons trail the state by at least 35 points, with 5th grade Science (9.1% vs. 62.7%) and 3rd grade Math (8.6% vs. 62.1%) at the widest gaps. Encouragingly, ELA is the one subject moving up: average proficiency rose from 16.8% to 28.1%, led by 6th grade (11.4% to 40%) and 5th grade (23.3% to 34.8%), and it climbs steadily by grade (14.3% in 3rd to 40% in 6th). Math has been essentially flat, staying between roughly 8% and 14% in every grade across both years, and averaged 10.4% in 2025–26 versus 28.1% for ELA.

Two structural numbers stand out for families. The student–teacher ratio is 33.4 to 1 (2024–25), implying roughly nine teachers for the whole building, and chronic absenteeism is 61.5% (2025–26) — about three in five students. Per-student spending of $6,156 comes from 2018–19 and is too old to describe current resources, and the free/reduced-price lunch rate is not reported, so the school's economic-disadvantage rate is unknown rather than zero.
