Summary

Windermere Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 555 students in Upper Arlington, Ohio, part of the Upper Arlington City district, which ranks 54th of 773 Ohio districts. It is one of Ohio's top-ranked elementary schools: in 2025–2026 it placed 25th of 1,560 elementary schools statewide (98th percentile, 5 stars). Its record is remarkably consistent — every listed year since 2015–2016 has been rated 5 stars, with percentile ranks between 97 and 99.

Test scores were above both district and state averages in every reported subject and grade. Math is the signature strength: Grade 4 math was 98.8% proficient, Grade 6 math 100%, and Grade 5 math 91.5%, compared with 59.1% for Ohio in Grade 5. Compared with nearby schools, Windermere generally outperforms Tremont Elementary School and Wickliffe Elementary School across reported tests. Against Greensview Elementary School, the closest Upper Arlington peer, Windermere leads in math (Grade 5 math 91.5% vs. 75.0%) while Greensview leads in ELA and science, yet Windermere still ranks higher overall statewide.

Chronic absenteeism was only 2.7% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 9.0% and lower than every nearby comparison school except Greensview at 2.9%. Special education students ranked 4th of 914 statewide (100th percentile), an unusually strong result. The reported student-teacher ratio of 26.9 is much higher than the other Upper Arlington elementaries (15.7 to 18.4), suggesting effective instruction rather than small classes. Its 4.32% free/reduced-price lunch rate and 2018–2019 per-student spending of $14,295 offer context, though the spending figure is dated, and the data include a Grade 6 math result for a K–5 school.
