Summary

Woodcrest Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Columbus, OH, serving 286 students in the Columbus City Schools District, where both the district and the school sit near the bottom of Ohio's rankings — the district at 683 of 773 districts (12th percentile, 1 star) and Woodcrest at 1,369 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (12th percentile, 1 star).

The school ranked in the low-20s percentile from 2022 to 2024 but slipped back to the 12th percentile in 2025–2026. Its clearest strength is attendance: 35.0% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, well below the district's 53.8% and better than most nearby Columbus City elementary schools except Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School (32.6%). That is a big improvement from 51.7% in 2021–2022. Woodcrest also has the smallest enrollment and lowest student-teacher ratio (17.8) among its same-district neighbors, and its 2018–2019 per-student spending of $12,810 was the highest in that group, though that figure is old.

Academics remain weak and uneven. In 2025–2026, proficiency trailed both district and state in most subjects; 4th grade ELA was the bright spot, edging the district (45.0% vs. 41.3%), while 5th grade ELA (33.3% vs. 50.4%) and 5th grade science (25.9% vs. 35.8%) were the biggest gaps. Results for student groups have also declined, with one group falling from the 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 20th and 1 star in 2025–2026, and low-income students from the 26th to the 13th percentile. Compared with nearby schools, Woodcrest outranks Liberty Elementary School and Leawood Elementary School, is similar to Shady Lane Elementary School, and trails Olde Orchard and Oakmont Elementary School. Performance Academy Eastland (55th percentile), Etna Road Elementary School (22nd) and Zenith Academy East (23rd) rank higher, while Renaissance Academy dba Bessie Sherrod Price Preparatory Academy is far below. Kae Avenue Elementary School serves only PK–1, so its test scores are not comparable.

The school is dirty, not to mention the high traffic volume and the fact no one drives the speed limit in a school zone. Plus the shootings near the school. No one knows whats going on in that school. They get counted absent for the staffs mistakes and the fact that the kids were supposed to get out at 3 pm and they don't get out till 315 sometimes later. What is the principal doing exactly they don't even ID anyone who takes your child for god sakes. Ugh I'll be so glad when I move from here and take my daughter with me. Close Quote
