of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Broadleigh Elementary School is a public school in Columbus, OH, serving 302 students in grades 1–5 at 3039 Maryland Ave, within the Columbus City Schools District, which ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts (12th percentile, 1 star).

In 2025–2026, Broadleigh ranked 1,286th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (18th percentile, 1 star). It often outperforms nearby same-district schools such as Eastgate Elementary School, East Columbus Elementary School, and Fairmoor Elementary School, though it trails Columbus Africentric Early College Elementary School. However, nearby Bexley City schools—Maryland Elementary School, Cassingham Elementary School, and Montrose Elementary School—rank in the 92nd–95th percentiles. Broadleigh’s clearest academic bright spot is upper-grade ELA: 4th-grade ELA proficiency is 54.5% (above the district’s 41.3% but below the state’s 61.8%), and 5th-grade ELA is 57.1% (above the district’s 50.4% but below the state’s 70.4%). Math and science are weaker: 3rd-grade math is 20% (district 35%, state 62.1%), and 5th-grade science is 30.8% (district 35.8%, state 62.7%).

Chronic absenteeism was 48.8% in 2025–2026, better than Eastgate Elementary School (67.9%), East Columbus Elementary School (61.9%), and Fairmoor Elementary School (60.7%), but far above Maryland Elementary School (5.2%), Cassingham Elementary School (4.0%), and Montrose Elementary School (4.3%). The student-teacher ratio is 17.7, similar to Cassingham Elementary School and better than several same-district peers. Reported per-student spending was $10,539 in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby schools but dated. Test scores swing widely year to year—5th-grade ELA went 41.7%, 72%, 44.7%, then 57.1%—and 3rd-grade math has stayed very low. One student subgroup ranked near the state average in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall percentile, while other subgroups remain lower. A nearby charter, Columbus Performance Academy, ranks higher (76th percentile) but reports 79.8% chronic absenteeism, a 144-student K–8 enrollment, and an 8.0 ratio, so it is not a straightforward comparison. Overall, Broadleigh shows intermittent improvement and some relative strengths, but faces persistent math/science weakness, high absenteeism, and a large gap to high-performing Bexley City schools only blocks away.
