Summary

Oakmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 305 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Oakmont Elementary School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on state tests across all grade levels and subject areas, and disparities in subgroup performance. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 26.1%, compared to 30.5% for the Columbus City Schools District and 63.4% for the state. The nearby Liberty Elementary and Shady Lane Elementary schools also perform poorly, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

In contrast, the nearby Reynoldsburg City and Pickerington Local school districts have higher-ranked and higher-rated elementary schools, highlighting the importance of district-level factors in shaping school performance. The nearby charter schools, such as Performance Academy Eastland and Zenith Academy East, show mixed results, outperforming Oakmont Elementary in some areas but still struggling to match the performance of the higher-ranked traditional public schools in the surrounding districts.

Principal only cares about test scores and her reputation. She is actively creating an environment where fighting is encouraged to make to one tougher. She makes students leave in ways that have to illegal if they cause her too much trouble Close Quote

From the time you walk in Oakmont Elementary School from the office personnel we went to the teachers,. Also the safety of the children is also put into care and effort led by mrs. Fairchild. The school has a very good friendly spirit. Our teacher is Miss Brucker and Miss Fida, both are very cordial professional and extremely devoted women in the field of teachers. My name is Steven dodero and my child's name is Levi and we're very happy campers Close Quote
