Summary

Windsor STEM Academy is a PK–6 elementary school at 1219 E 12th Ave in Columbus, Ohio, serving 345 students as part of the Columbus City Schools District. It sits at the very bottom of Ohio's school rankings — 1,533rd of 1,560 schools in 2025–26, the 2nd percentile — and has never risen above the 3rd percentile in ten reported years, inside a district itself ranked 683rd of 773 statewide.

Achievement is the central concern. Windsor's proficiency rates fall below the district average in all nine reported grade-and-subject cells and below the state in all nine, averaging roughly 13% against about 37% for the district and 62% for the state. Fifth-grade science is the sharpest weak point: 0% in 2025–26, following 3.7%, 2.4%, and 0% in the three prior years. Fifth-grade ELA is comparatively stronger at 23.1%. Nearby schools show what is possible: South Mifflin STEM Academy — same district, same PK–6 STEM name, about 1.65 miles away — reaches the 56th percentile with 5th-grade ELA at 95.8%, while Hamilton STEM Academy, less than a mile away, outperforms Windsor in eight of nine cells. Every reported student group at Windsor lands in the 0th–3rd percentile, so this is a school-wide pattern rather than one tied to a particular group.

Windsor spends $12,406 per student (2018–19), the most in its comparison set, and its student–teacher ratio rose from 17.5 to 20.2. Chronic absenteeism remains high at 63.6%, but it has dropped 18 percentage points over four years, narrowing the gap with the district from about 16 points to under 10 — the clearest sign of progress. There was also real year-over-year growth in 2025–26 in eight of nine cells, though the school still moved only from the 1st to the 2nd percentile.
