Summary

West Broad Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 356 students on West Broad Street on Columbus's west side, part of the Columbus City Schools District, which itself ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts.

The school earned 1 star in 2025–26, ranking 1,394th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (11th percentile) — its best statewide standing since 2017–18 and the first time it has climbed out of 0-star territory in seven years. Average proficiency across reported grade and subject results is about 31%, compared with roughly 39% district-wide and 64% statewide. Fifth-grade English language arts is the standout: proficiency rose from 29.3% to 52.2% in one year and is the only 2025–26 result above the district average (52.2% vs 50.4%). Fifth-grade science is the weakest spot, essentially flat for four years at 19.6%. Chronic absenteeism, once 76.1%, has fallen to 53.9% — now in line with the district (53.8%) and lower than several nearby schools.

Among nearby Columbus City schools, Binns Elementary School (1.6 miles away) shows 2 stars and the 31st percentile with similar spending, while Westgate Alternative Elementary School sits at the 28th percentile with 45.7% chronic absenteeism — evidence that stronger outcomes happen close by. At the other end, Highland Elementary School ranks at 0 percentile with 8.5% average proficiency and 70.7% absenteeism. West Broad's class size of 16.9:1 is the second-lowest among these peers, and its per-student spending of $12,075 (2018–19, the latest available) is the highest. A nearby charter, Educational Academy for Boys & Girls, posts 3 stars and the 52nd percentile with 20.6% absenteeism, but it serves 182 students and does not report free/reduced-lunch data, so direct comparison is uncertain.
