Summary

Hamilton STEM Academy (K-6) is a PK–6 Columbus City Schools District elementary school at 2047 Hamilton Ave. in Columbus, OH, serving 369 students near a mix of district and charter elementary options.

The school ranks 1,428 of 1,560 in 2025–26 (8th percentile, 0 stars), while its district ranks 683 of 773 (12th percentile, 1 star). It has improved from the 3rd percentile in 2021–22 through 2023–24, but it remains in the bottom decile. Its simple average of listed 2025–26 test proficiency rates is about 25.8%, compared with about 36.9% for the district and 62.1% for the state. Chronic absenteeism is 65.9%, well above the district’s 53.8% and far above higher-performing nearby schools such as Indianola Informal K-8 School at 18.4% and Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School at 19.3%. The student-teacher ratio is 21.7, and older spending data show $11,607 per student in 2018–19, similar to several same-district peers.

Compared with nearby schools, the school is not the lowest—Windsor STEM Academy (K-6) ranks 2nd percentile, Linden STEM Academy (K-6) 4th, and North Columbus Preparatory Academy 6th—but it is far below South Mifflin STEM Academy (K-6) (56th percentile, 67.1% average proficiency), Indianola Informal K-8 School (56th, 64.0%), and Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School (55th, 67.7%). The “STEM Academy” name does not predict results. Lower grades are relatively stronger: 3rd-grade math is 38.2%, above the district’s 35.0%, but 5th-grade science is 17.9% and 6th-grade math is 13.5%. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank 4th percentile and low-SES students 8th percentile. Overall, the school has made real gains from a very low base, but high absenteeism and upper-grade proficiency remain its biggest challenges.
