Summary

Ervin Carlisle Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 533 students at 746 St Rt 37 W in Delaware, Ohio, a small city in the growing Delaware County corridor north of Columbus. Its results have climbed substantially: after ranking 818th statewide (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2020–21, the school reached 334th (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25 and stands at 383rd (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26 — notably higher than its own Delaware City district, which ranks 299th of Ohio's 773 districts (61st percentile, 3 stars).

Attendance is this school's clearest structural strength. Chronic absenteeism was 11.3% in 2025–26, six to eight points below the district in every recent year and far better than Laura Woodward Elementary School at 27.5%. English language arts is the strongest academic pillar, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade proficiency at 81.0%, 84.8%, and 82.8% — roughly 10 to 16 points above the district. Fifth-grade science is a standout at 82.5%, essentially matching results at Indian Springs Elementary, Shale Meadows Elementary School, and Peachblow Crossing Elementary, even though those Olentangy Local schools serve far fewer students from low-income families. Math is comparatively the soft spot: grade 3 math (63.3%) is the only measure on which the school trails its own district. Special education students have earned 3 stars for three straight years — a stable, above-average strength.

The closest comparison is Robert F Schultz Elementary School, less than a mile away with nearly identical poverty (30.37% vs. 30.96%) and absenteeism (11.2% vs. 11.3%) rates — yet Ervin Carlisle outscores it by 10 to 15 points in ELA and science. These results are not explained by extra funding: per-student spending and staffing sit mid-pack among district schools. Two things to watch: free/reduced-price lunch eligibility has risen about 10 percentage points in three years, to 30.96%, and results for low-income students have swung widely (35th to 78th to 56th percentile over three years), making consistency for that growing group the key question going forward.
