Summary

Eastland Preparatory Academy is a small K–8 school in Columbus, OH, serving 230 students at 2741 S Hamilton Rd, and it operates as its own district. In 2025–26, it ranked 1,276th of 1,560 Ohio schools—the 18th percentile—with a 1-star rating; its district ranked 684th of 773 Ohio districts, also 1-star and 12th percentile.

The school’s most striking challenge is chronic absenteeism: 71.9% in 2025–26, far above nearby schools. The closest is Leawood Elementary School at 46.9%; most others are 20–36%, Sedalia Elementary is 19.9%, and Zenith Academy East is 3.0%. Test proficiency averages about 31% across the 14 listed 2025–26 Ohio State Tests versus roughly 60% statewide. Relative strengths include 3rd-grade math at 58.6% (state 62.1%), 5th-grade ELA at 53.3%, and 3rd-grade ELA at 44.8%. Major weaknesses include 7th-grade math at 0% (state 48.6%), 5th-grade science at 6.7% (state 62.7%), 6th-grade math at 14.3%, 6th-grade ELA at 19%, 8th-grade math at 20%, and 8th-grade science at 30%. Some grades improved: 3rd-grade math from 36.4% to 58.6% and 3rd-grade ELA from 22.7% to 44.8%.

Compared with nearby schools, Performance Academy Eastland is the most striking benchmark: a K–8 school 0.86 miles away with 320 students, a 16.8 student-teacher ratio, and a 55th percentile/3-star rank, versus the school’s 18th percentile/1 star. Its 2025–26 5th-grade results are much higher—math 88.5% vs 26.7%, science 80.8% vs 6.7%, and ELA 80.8% vs 53.3%—and its chronic absenteeism is 35.9% vs 71.9%. The school reports the lowest nearby per-pupil spending ($6,549 in 2018–19), yet its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 16.7 is better than many nearby schools and similar to Performance Academy Eastland’s 16.8. It often outperforms Columbus City Schools District schools such as Leawood Elementary School, Liberty Elementary School, and Easthaven Elementary School in early-grade math and ELA, but trails stronger Groveport Madison Local schools. Subgroup rankings improved: African American students moved from 8th percentile/0 stars to 42nd percentile/2 stars, while low-SES and male students rose. Overall, the school moved from 4th percentile in 2023–24 to 11th in 2024–25 to 18th in 2025–26, but remains in the bottom fifth of Ohio schools.
