Summary

Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the Columbus City Schools District, located at 1779 E Maynard Ave, Columbus, OH 43219, and it enrolls 183 students — smaller than most nearby schools. For 2025–26 it ranked 1238 of 1560 Ohio schools (21st percentile, 1 star). That is the highest percentile in its past decade, but still a bottom-quintile, 1-star result. Among nearby same-district schools, Duxberry is second only to South Mifflin STEM Academy (K-6) (56th percentile, 3 stars), and it ranks ahead of East Linden Elementary School, Hamilton STEM Academy (K-6), Linden STEM Academy (K-6), and Windsor STEM Academy (K-6).

In 2025–26, Duxberry exceeded district averages in 5th-grade science (50.0 vs 35.8) and in ELA for grades 3, 4, and 5 (42.3, 42.9, and 61.5). Math is the clear weakness: the school trailed the district in every tested math grade, and all reported scores remained below state proficiency — 5th-grade math was 19.2% proficient versus 59.1% statewide. Fifth grade also swung sharply from the prior year (science rose from 4.3% to 50.0%; ELA from 21.7% to 61.5%), and with only 183 students those jumps may reflect cohort changes as much as sustained improvement.

Chronic absenteeism is 50.0%, below the district's 53.8% and better than Linden, Windsor, and Hamilton, but worse than South Mifflin (44.5%) and Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School (19.3%). Duxberry's 14:1 student–teacher ratio is the lowest among same-district neighbors and second nearby only to Columbus Performance Academy (8:1), though that staffing advantage has not yet produced top proficiency. Spending was $11,536 per student in 2018–19. Subgroup results show 2-star, 41st-percentile results for African American students, and special education students improved from the 7th percentile in 2022–23 to the 31st in 2023–24.
