Summary

Indian Springs Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school in Columbus, Ohio (43214) that enrolls 396 students as part of the Columbus City Schools District. On 2025–2026 state tests, about 76% of its students scored proficient — roughly double the district's 38.5% and about 13 points above Ohio's 63.8% — and it beat the state in all seven tested subjects and grades.

What makes this school unusual is how far it sits above its own district. The Columbus City Schools District ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts (12th percentile, 1 star), while Indian Springs ranks 426th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 73rd percentile, or 4 stars. That is roughly 60 percentile points above its district. It is not a one-year fluke: the school spent the mid-2010s in the high-50s to mid-60s, climbed into the mid-70s, and peaked at the 79th percentile in 2024–2025. The 2025–2026 result eased to 73rd, still comfortably 4 stars, and that dip reflects a different group of students rather than a clear decline.

Among nearby schools, Indian Springs is third of ten within about two miles — behind Clinton Elementary School (88th percentile) and Ecole Kenwood French Immersion (79th), and ahead of Indianola Informal K-8 School (56th), Winterset Elementary School (40th), Valley Forge Elementary School (17th), and Maize Road Elementary School (12th). Chronic absenteeism here is 22.2% — under half the district's 53.8% and improving — though Clinton (15.6%) and Ecole Kenwood (8.3%) show lower is achievable; the closest school, Colerain Elementary School, is 0.62 miles away at 51.8%. Low-income students rank in the 93rd–97th percentile (5 stars) three years running, above the school's overall standing, and special education effectiveness rose from the 39th to the 77th percentile. Gifted and talented students, at the 46th percentile on the most recent available data, are the one relative soft spot.

We are ending our 4th year at our Neighborhood school, Indian Springs. My son's teachers have been nurturing, supportive and involved. The community feel is tight at this school and the parents and PTA help one another out and create amazing school memories. Our son has been on multiple sport teams with others IS kids. There is a great CCS latch key program and walkable before/after school program at nearby Maple Grove Church run through the CrC. I have had to talk to Ms. Adams once about an issue in my sons classroom. She was understanding and immediately responsive and through about dealing with it. The school is about 400 kids total with the littles (K-1) on the first floor and the rest on the second. It's a smaller school compared to the other two CCS schools in Clintonvile and that is a bonus. I've loved getting to know everyone at the school and then in the community. Please don't miss out on the opportunity to send your child to Indian Springs. Close Quote
