Summary

Eakin Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 3774 Eakin Rd in Columbus, OH, serving 242 students as part of Columbus City Schools District, a district ranked 683rd of 773 Ohio districts.

Eakin has ranked near the bottom of Ohio elementary schools for years. In 2025–2026, it placed 1,509th of 1,560 schools—the 3rd percentile—with 0 stars, continuing a decade mostly in the bottom 1st–7th percentile. Its 2025–2026 test proficiency averaged about 19.5%, compared with roughly 38.5% for the district and 63.8% for Ohio. Math and science are especially weak: 5th-grade math was 7.1% and 5th-grade science 14.3%, while 5th-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 42.9%. Among nearby schools, Eakin outperformed Burroughs Elementary School on every provided 2025–2026 test, but it trailed Westgate Alternative Elementary School, Binns Elementary School, Georgian Heights Alt Elementary School, Westside Academy, Great Western Academy, Stiles Elementary School, and West Franklin Elementary School in common-grade proficiency. Sullivant Avenue Community School was mixed.

Chronic absenteeism is high: 50.9% of Eakin students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, down from 62.3% in 2021–2022 but up from 44.4% in 2024–2025. That rate is below the district average of 53.8% and below Burroughs Elementary School, Binns Elementary School, Sullivant Avenue Community School, and Bridge Gate Community School, but higher than several other nearby schools. In 2025–2026, no student subgroup ranked above the 6th percentile, suggesting broad school-wide challenges rather than a single isolated gap. Resource indicators do not clearly explain the low outcomes: Eakin’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.1, lower than many nearby schools, and its 2018–2019 per-student spending was $11,724, higher than several nearby same-district and charter alternatives. That spending figure is dated, but it suggests class size or spending alone does not account for the performance gap.
