Summary

Scottwood Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Columbus, OH, serving 484 students in the Columbus City Schools District. For 2025–2026, it ranks 1421st of 1560 Ohio elementary schools (9th percentile, 0 stars), placing it in the bottom tenth of the state and slightly below its own district, which ranks 683rd of 773 districts (12th percentile, 1 star). The school has been at the 8th–9th percentile for three straight years after sitting around the 14th–20th percentile earlier.

On 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests, the school’s average proficiency is about 27.4%, compared with 38.5% for the district and 63.8% statewide. Grade 4 is a relative bright spot: Grade 4 ELA is 41.1%, essentially at district average, and Grade 4 Math is 35.6%. But Grade 5 Math is only 10.9% proficient—48.2 points below the state—and Grade 3 Math (16.4%), Grade 3 ELA (20.9%), and Grade 5 Science (26.6%) are also far below district and state. Among nearby same-district schools, the school outperforms Fairmoor Elementary School in several areas and is roughly comparable to Leawood Elementary School in overall rank, but it generally lags Berwick Alternative K-8 School and Easthaven Elementary School, and it is far behind Performance Academy Eastland and Montrose Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism is 49.6%, below the district’s 53.8% and below Fairmoor Elementary School and Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy, but still very high. The student-teacher ratio is 21.0, higher than most nearby same-district schools except Leawood Elementary School, and higher than most nearby charters. Per-student spending is $11,280 (2018–2019), higher than nearby charters and similar to other Columbus City schools, yet outcomes are generally lower—suggesting factors beyond raw spending, such as attendance, class size, school model, and local context, matter. Overall, the school is a low-performing, bottom-decile school facing significant academic and attendance challenges.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, August 23, 2016

The staff is wonderful, cares about every child! They all work together well, and communication with parents is wonderful. They are working more and more with computers, and everyone is working extra hard to get test scores improved. Families often ask for the same teacher for their younger children as they have had such a good rapport with their older child's teacher. Everyone gets along great and they always give extra attention to the kids who need it most. Close Quote
