Summary

Parkmoor Elementary School is a PK–5 school of 304 students on Columbus's north side, part of the Columbus City Schools District. It ranks 1,134th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (27th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026 — a step back from four consecutive years at 2 stars — within a district that itself ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts.

That district context matters, because Parkmoor consistently outperforms it. On the 2025–2026 state tests the school beat the district in all seven tested grade-and-subject combinations, averaging roughly 47.6% proficient against 38.5% for the district and 63.8% statewide. Among nearby Columbus City elementaries, it leads on the same seven measures: Valley Forge Elementary School (38.2), Forest Park Elementary School (37.9), Northtowne Elementary School (37.4), and Salem Elementary School (30.5). Attendance is arguably its signature strength — 27.2% of students were chronically absent, roughly half the district's 53.8%, and that gap has held every year on record.

The weak spot is fifth-grade math: 28.6% proficient this year against 59.1% statewide, a 20-point-plus gap in each of the past four years and the one measure where Parkmoor barely edges the district. Fifth-grade science has also softened. Subgroup results are uneven in a way that points to clear priorities — English Language Learner students rank at the 69th percentile and African American students at the 61st, both far above the school's overall standing, while special education students sit at the 16th percentile (772 of 914) and gifted students at the 10th (81 of 90). Note that tiny nearby charters such as Northland Preparatory and Fitness Academy post 100% proficiency in some grades but enroll only about 133 students, so they aren't a fair benchmark. Overall, Parkmoor looks like a stable neighborhood school doing more than its district and immediate peers, with three clear to-dos: reverse the 2025–26 slide, shore up fifth-grade math, and close the gaps for special education and gifted learners.
