Summary

Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 521 students on McNaughten Road in east Columbus, part of the Columbus City Schools District, a district that ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts. The school itself ranks 1,229th of 1,560 statewide (21st percentile, 1 star) — but it is consistently the strongest of its immediate Columbus City peers and outperforms its own district in six of seven tested subjects.

Reading and writing are the school's signature: fifth-grade ELA proficiency is 60.9%, above the district's 50.4% and the best among nearby Columbus City elementaries including Leawood Elementary School, Shady Lane Elementary School, Oakmont Elementary School and Woodcrest Elementary School. Fifth-grade science (44.9%) is more than 20 points above the nearest Columbus City peers. Chronic absenteeism is 32.6% — far below the district's 53.8% and lower than every Columbus City neighbor — and has improved from 48.1% in 2021–22. Keep in mind that every tested area still falls below the Ohio average, in some cases by more than 20 points, and nearby Rose Hill Elementary School and Waggoner Road Elementary in Reynoldsburg City post higher overall proficiency.

Two concerns stand out. First, 2025–26 marks a step backward: the state percentile fell from 30th to 21st, with fourth-grade math dropping from 54.9% to 38.4% and fifth-grade math from 52.6% to 30.4%. Second, the school's measured effectiveness in serving several student groups slipped from multi-year highs — these figures describe school practice, not the students themselves. Third-grade math (26.4%) is the only tested area trailing its own district. Its student–teacher ratio (20.0) is higher than most neighbors, and per-student spending ($12,413, 2018–19) is near the top of the local comparison set.
