Summary
Annehurst Elementary School is a K–5 school in Westerville, Ohio, serving 409 students in the Westerville City school district, which ranks 270th of 773 Ohio districts (65th percentile, 3 stars). Annehurst itself ranked 565th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 64th percentile with 3 stars — comfortably above the state average, but below the school's own earlier peaks of the 81st percentile in 2018–2019 and 75th in 2021–2022. Recent years have held in the 57th–64th percentile range, with 2025–2026 a slight rebound from 59th the year before.
Within its own district, Annehurst trails its closest Westerville City peers: Hanby Building Elementary School (73rd percentile), Whittier Elementary School (82nd), and Emerson Elementary School (85th). Test results are strong in most grades — 5th grade is a bright spot, with ELA at 85.5%, science 77.4%, and math 71.7%, all above district and state — but 4th-grade ELA is the clear weak point at 61.1%, below both district and state, and 4th-grade math is below district though still above state. Whittier is the most instructive comparison: it serves an almost identical low-income population (41.96% free/reduced lunch versus 42.05%) yet ranks higher, has lower chronic absenteeism, and outperforms Annehurst in all seven tested subjects while spending less per student.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.9%, well below the district's 18.2% and far better than nearby Columbus City Schools District and charter schools, but above Hanby (5.8%), Whittier (8.6%), and Emerson (9.7%). Subgroup results show the widest gap: the school ranks in the 33rd percentile for low-income students, 49th for English learners, and 32nd for students with disabilities, while sitting at 64th overall. With 42% of students low-income, improving those outcomes — and attendance — looks like the biggest available lever.
