Summary

Sullivant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 241 students. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sullivant Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement and attendance of its students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sullivant Elementary struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.6% to 61.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Sullivant students perform poorly on state assessments compared to the district and state. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Southwood Elementary, Siebert Elementary, and West Mound Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high chronic absenteeism rates. However, these schools generally outperform Sullivant Elementary, suggesting that Sullivant may face unique challenges. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Sullivant Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved student outcomes.
