Summary

Northgate Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Columbus City Schools District in Columbus, Ohio. With 279 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northgate Intermediate faces significant challenges, particularly in student academic performance. Proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are generally lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 46.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.6% to 54.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average of 15-20%.

While Northgate Intermediate performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, the school struggles with its White and Multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio schools for these groups. The school also has low performance for its Special Education and Gifted and Talented student subgroups. Nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Forest Park Elementary, Avalon Elementary, and Parkmoor Elementary, have similar performance profiles, while schools in the Worthington City district, such as Worthington Park Elementary, perform significantly better.
