Summary

Sullivant Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 265 students in Columbus, OH, within the Columbus City Schools District, which ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts (12th percentile, 1 star). Sullivant Elementary School ranked 1505th of 1560 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (4th percentile, 0 stars). Its rank history shows persistent bottom-tier performance: from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, the school stayed between the 1st and 8th percentile statewide, earning 0 stars every year. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below both district and state averages in every reported subject.

The most striking result is 5th grade science: 0% proficient, compared with 35.8% in the district and 62.7% statewide, and the lowest among nearby schools, all of which reported at least 16.1%. Some subjects show improvement from a very low base — 4th grade math rose from 0% to 36.6%, 4th grade English language arts from 7.7% to 29.3%, and 3rd grade ELA from 16.7% to 21.9% — but 3rd and 5th grade math and 5th grade science remain extremely low. Chronic absenteeism is 65.5%, above the district's 53.8% and among the highest nearby; only Starling Pk-8 (70.3%) and South Columbus Preparatory Academy at German Village (66.9%) were higher. Subgroup effectiveness ranks are generally very low, including 0th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2024–2025 (280th of 281) and 4th percentile for low-SES students in 2025–2026.

Class size and spending do not simply explain outcomes. Sullivant's student-teacher ratio of 14.7 in 2024–2025 is lower than most same-district neighbors, including Southwood Elementary School (19.3), Avondale Elementary School (16.8), Siebert Elementary School (21.9), Stewart Alternative Elementary School (24.5), and Starling Pk-8 (18.1), and its per-student spending of $9,694 (2018–2019) is the lowest among them. United Schools Columbus posts higher test scores despite a 39.9 ratio and $7,368 in spending. Stewart Alternative and Siebert also have much lower chronic absenteeism (38.1% and 40.7%). Spending data cover only 2018–2019 and poverty data are largely missing, so treat suppressed figures as unknown.
