of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

West Mound Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 2051 W Mound St in Columbus, OH (43223), serving 316 students as part of the Columbus City Schools District on the city's west side.

In 2025–2026, West Mound Elementary School ranked 1,378th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (12th percentile, 1 star), and it has never left the bottom fifth of the state in ten years of rankings. Proficiency in every tested subject and grade sits far below the state average — for example, 44.4% in 5th-grade reading, 30.6% in 5th-grade math and 25.0% in 5th-grade science. Measured against its own district and immediate neighbors, though, the school looks better. It is above the Columbus City average in 5th-grade math (30.6% vs. 28.4%) and essentially level in 3rd-grade reading, and it posts the highest results among the six Columbus City elementary schools within 1.6 miles in both 5th-grade math and 3rd-grade reading. Nearby Burroughs Elementary School, Highland Elementary School and Starling Pk-8 all rank in the 0th–3rd percentile, and Columbus Bilingual West is in the 1st; only Lindbergh Elementary School (14th percentile) ranks close to West Mound.

The bigger caution is attendance. West Mound's chronic absenteeism is 57.7%, above the district's 53.8%, and it has risen for three straight years. Schools nearby show what is possible: Educational Academy for Boys & Girls, a charter about a mile away, ranks in the 52nd percentile with 20.6% absenteeism while spending $7,230 per student, compared with West Mound's $11,918 (2018–19). Finland Elementary School, in South-Western City, sits at the 28th percentile, and East Franklin Elementary School reports similar proficiency to West Mound with 32.0% absenteeism at $7,242 per student. West Mound also runs at 19.7 students per teacher. The most actionable levers visible in the data are attendance, 4th-grade math and 5th-grade science.
