Summary

Eakin Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 247 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 688 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eakin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eakin Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 44.4% to 57.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is also significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.6% of 5th-grade students were proficient in science, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, including Westgate Alternative Elementary, Binns Elementary, and Georgian Heights Alt Elementary, all perform significantly better than Eakin Elementary on academic measures, despite being part of the same Columbus City Schools District. This suggests that Eakin Elementary may be facing unique challenges that are not shared by its neighbors. Additionally, Eakin Elementary's per-student spending of $11,724 in 2018-2019 is higher than the nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.4 in 2023-2024 is lower, indicating that funding and class size may not be the primary drivers of the school's poor performance.
