Summary

Cranbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 280 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning.

Cranbrook Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally below the Columbus City Schools District and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 42.1% of 4th-grade students and 45.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics and Science, with the 5th-grade Science proficiency rate at 47.1%, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% for the state.

Cranbrook Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Asian and Hispanic students generally perform better than their peers, with the Hispanic student group ranking 53 out of 189 Ohio elementary schools in 2020-2021. In contrast, African American and White students at Cranbrook perform significantly worse, ranking 525 out of 601 and 868 out of 1175 Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 52.6% to 57.8% in recent school years, is also a concern and may be linked to the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and increased resources could help Cranbrook Elementary School improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its diverse student body.
