Summary

Leawood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 297 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Leawood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1-star rating.

Leawood Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 48.2% to 57.8% in recent years, well above district and state averages. Academically, the school's students perform well below state and district averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 64.4% statewide. The school's subgroups, such as African American students, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students, also perform particularly poorly compared to state and district averages.

The struggles at Leawood Elementary are not unique within the Columbus City Schools District, as nearby schools like Easthaven Elementary and Shady Lane Elementary also perform poorly and have similar low rankings. However, the proximity of higher-performing charter schools in the area may provide an alternative for families seeking better educational opportunities for their children.
