Summary

Georgian Heights Alt Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 784 Georgian Dr in Columbus, OH, serving 484 students—larger than the nearby elementary schools in its own Columbus City Schools District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,240th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing in the 21st percentile with 1 star—the lowest rank percentile in its available history. The school peaked at the 39th percentile in 2021–2022, then slipped to the 32nd in 2023–2024, the 24th in 2024–2025, and the 21st in 2025–2026. The district itself ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts, in the 12th percentile.

Academically, Georgian Heights beats its own district in five of seven tested areas but trails Ohio in every reported one. In 2025–2026, Grade 5 Science was 41.2% proficient (district 35.8%, state 62.7%), Grade 3 Math 45.9% (district 35.0%, state 62.1%), and Grade 3 ELA 49.2% (district 37.4%, state 63.4%). Grade 4 Math is a weak spot at 31.5%, below the district's 41.3% and far below the state's 67.3%. Third grade is a relative strength; upper-grade math is not. The contrast with Eakin Elementary School, 0.48 miles away, is stark: Georgian Heights outperforms it in every common tested area, even though Eakin spends more per student and has a smaller student-teacher ratio. Georgian Heights also beats Sullivant Avenue Community School across all common grades. However, Westside Academy generally posts stronger upper-grade results and much lower chronic absenteeism, and some South-Western City schools such as West Franklin Elementary School outperform it in Grade 4 Math.

Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot: 37.1% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 53.8% and down from 53.4% in 2021–2022, though nearby Westside Academy (17.0%) and Prairie Lincoln Elementary School (22.8%) do much better. Subgroup results are uneven: the school's effectiveness ranking for African American students was the 54th percentile with 3 stars, down from the high 70s in prior years, while special education improved from the 12th percentile to the 30th. Overall, Georgian Heights is a stronger option than the weakest nearby schools, but it ranks at a historical low and remains below state averages.
