Summary

Maryland Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 333 students in Bexley, Ohio, part of the Bexley City School District, a high-performing suburban district near Columbus. In 2025–2026, Maryland Elementary School ranked 79th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 95th percentile, 5 stars — up from 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2018–2019. Chronic absenteeism fell from 12.8% in 2021–2022 to 5.2% in 2025–2026, well below the district rate. About 15.3% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.8.

Academics are strong. Across seven 2025–2026 tests, Maryland averaged about 89.4% proficiency, versus roughly 87.9% for the district and 63.8% statewide. Math is the standout: all three tested grades beat the district and state, with Grade 3 math at 92.7 — 30.6 points above the state. Grade 3 ELA also reached 92.7. The relative weak spot is Grade 5 ELA, where Maryland's 84.2 sits below the district's 91.2 and below same-district peers Cassingham Elementary School (93.8) and Montrose Elementary School (94.6). Maryland is the top-ranked Bexley elementary, ahead of Montrose (94th percentile) and Cassingham (92nd percentile), though both peers have slightly lower chronic absenteeism (4.3% and 4.0%).

Subgroup results are mostly excellent: female students ranked 99th percentile, male students 95th, and special education students 95th. The clear exception is low-income students, who ranked 38th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025, down from 53rd the prior year — a gap worth watching. Context matters: nearby Columbus City Schools District ranks 683rd of 773 districts, and neighboring Columbus schools show chronic absenteeism between roughly 47.5% and 67.9% with far lower proficiency. Columbus Performance Academy posts high proficiency but has 79.8% absenteeism and only 144 students, making single-year comparisons unreliable. The main watch items for Maryland: Grade 5 ELA and low-income student outcomes.
