Summary:
Columbus Bilingual Academy-North is the only school in this area, and it is also its own single-school district, Columbus Bilingual Academy-North. Located at 2100 Morse Rd in Columbus, it enrolls 525 students in grades K through 8, though it is filed under the "Elementary" school type — meaning its 6th, 7th, and 8th grade results sit inside an elementary label and are easy to miss in area counts. Because school and district cover the same students, the two sets of ratings describe one building.
In 2025-2026, all 14 measured subject-and-grade results came in below the state line, with an average school score of 29.9% against a state average of 60.1% — a gap of about 30 points. Grade-by-grade gaps ran from -0.8 points (3rd grade math, 61.3% vs. 62.1%) to -45.3 points (8th grade math, 6.7% vs. 52%). The year before looked different: 4th grade math was 81.4% against 69.1% state, 3rd grade math was above state, and 8th grade science was within 2.5 points of state. The school's rank slipped from the 31st to the 17th percentile, and its star rating from 2 stars to 1. Its single-school district is ranked 702 of 773 (9th percentile, 0 stars) — a harsher composite for the same students.
Reading and writing (ELA) has been the most persistent weakness, below state in both years and at every grade measured. Middle grades are now the deepest gap: 6th grade scored 12.8% in both math and ELA, and 8th grade math 6.7%, against state rates in the 50s and 60s. Chronic absenteeism was 41.4% in 2025-2026 — roughly two in five students — though the file includes no state benchmark and only one year of attendance data. Two inputs that would help explain results are unusable here: the free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported, and per-student spending ($9,449) dates to 2018-2019. The student-teacher ratio is 20.1, with no state comparison provided.
