Summary

Eastgate Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 1925 Stratford Way on Columbus’s Near East Side, serving 171 students as part of Columbus City Schools District. Its most defining feature is persistence: across ten years of rankings, it has never risen above the 6th percentile statewide and has earned zero stars every reported year.

In 2025-26, Eastgate’s average proficiency across tested subjects was about 12.9%, compared with roughly 38.5% for the district and 63.8% for Ohio. Every subject and grade fell below the district, with gaps to the state ranging from 40 points in Grade 5 ELA to 63 points in Grade 4 math. Chronic absenteeism is 67.9%, the highest among its Columbus City peers and about 14 points above the district average of 53.8%. That is more than 13 times the rate at nearby Maryland Elementary School (5.2%) and Cassingham Elementary School (4.0%), both in Bexley City, a short 1.19–1.37 miles away; those schools average about 89% and 86% proficiency, versus Eastgate’s roughly 13%. Staffing and spending are mid-pack locally, not outliers.

Eastgate is also not simply “low like its district peers”: Fairwood Alternative Elementary School (~29%) and East Columbus Elementary School (~25%) outperform Eastgate, while Beatty Park Elementary School is weaker. Columbus Performance Academy, 0.84 miles away, posts high proficiency despite 79.8% absenteeism, but its small K–8 enrollment makes results volatile. Grade 5 is Eastgate’s relative bright spot and Grade 4 its weakest, while the current third grade posts the lowest results in the dataset. Absenteeism improved from 75.6% in 2021-22 to 63.4–63.5% in 2023-25, then rose to 67.9% in 2025-26. A decade of stagnation, uniform low subgroup rankings, and proficiency still 40–63 points below state point to sustained structural challenges rather than a one-year dip.
