Summary

Winterset Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the 43220 area of Columbus, Ohio, serving 326 students as part of Columbus City Schools District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 936th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 40th percentile, or 2 stars. That places it below the state median but well above its own district, which sits at about the 12th percentile with 1 star. Over the past decade Winterset has generally ranked between the 35th and 52nd percentiles, with its strongest years in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 at 3 stars.

Academically, Winterset outperformed its district in every tested subject and grade in 2025–2026. Its strengths are upper-grade reading and science: 4th-grade ELA at 65.4% proficient (versus 61.8% statewide), 5th-grade ELA at 71.8% (versus 70.4%), and 5th-grade science rebounding to 64.1% (versus 62.7%). Math is the clear challenge, especially in 5th grade at 35.9% proficient versus 59.1% statewide — a persistent gap, with 27.5% in 2024–2025. Third-grade math has also declined, from 67.6%/69.6% in 2022–2024 to 53.3%. Measured effectiveness for student groups varies from year to year.

Attendance has improved a lot: chronic absenteeism fell from 53.5% in 2021–2022 to 31.0% in 2025–2026, far below the district's 53.8%. Still, that is the highest rate among nearby schools — Ecole Kenwood French Immersion 8.3%, Indian Springs Elementary School 22.2%, Daniel Wright Elementary School 17.7%, Cranbrook Elementary School 29.6%, Gables Elementary School 30.9%, and Windermere Elementary School and Greensview Elementary School in the Upper Arlington City district at 2.7%–2.9%. Winterset spent $9,870 per student in 2018–2019 — less than nearby schools in its own district and far less than Upper Arlington — and its student-teacher ratio rose to 20.3 in 2024–2025 from 17.2 the year before. It remains stronger than Gables and Noble Academy-Columbus, comparable to Cranbrook and Daniel Wright, but well behind Indian Springs and Ecole Kenwood.
