Summary:
Elementary Schools located in Imagine Columbus Primary Academy consist of a single school — Imagine Columbus Primary Academy — a small charter school at 4656 Heaton Rd in Columbus, Ohio, serving 283 students in grades K–8 even though it is classified as an elementary school. Unusually, the school is its own district, so the Imagine Columbus Primary Academy district rankings and the school rankings describe the same students; there are no sibling schools to compare against.
Academically, the school ranks in the bottom few percent of Ohio schools and districts, earning 0 stars in each of the last three years. Its school rank went from 1476 of 1577 (6th percentile) in 2023‑24 to 1478 of 1558 (5th percentile) in 2024‑25 and 1513 of 1560 (3rd percentile) in 2025‑26, and its district rank is 758 of 773. Across the 28 reported grade‑subject tests in 2024‑25 and 2025‑26, the school scored below the state on every single one. Averaging all 14 tested grade‑subjects, students reached about 16.1% proficiency in 2025‑26 versus a state average near 60%.
Within that picture, English Language Arts is the relative bright spot — 22.7% on average versus 12.0% in Math — and the strongest individual results are grade 7 (ELA 33.3%, Math 25%) and grade 5 ELA (29.2%). The clearest weaknesses are grade 8, which posted 0% in both Math and Science two years running, and Science generally. Chronic absenteeism of 41.0% in 2025‑26 means more than two in five students missed large blocks of instruction, a likely factor in the low proficiency rates. Note that the free/reduced‑lunch percentage is not reported and the only spending figure, $7,252 per student, dates to 2018‑19, so the file cannot show whether the school is adequately resourced. The student‑to‑teacher ratio is 20.2, or roughly 14 teachers for 283 students.
