Summary

Mark Twain Elementary School is a K–5 school in suburban Westerville, Ohio, serving 398 students as part of the Westerville City school district. It is one of roughly a dozen elementary schools in the district and is located at 799 E Walnut St.

In 2025–26, Mark Twain Elementary School ranked 303rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 81st percentile and a 4-star rating — up from 570th of 1,588 in 2021–22, and it has held a 4-star rating every year since 2022–23. Averaged across seven tested areas, about 81.7% of students were proficient, compared with roughly 69.8% districtwide and 63.8% statewide. The strongest results came in 5th-grade English language arts (93.9%), 4th-grade math (90.6%), and 5th-grade science (89.4%). Among nearby elementaries, Mark Twain posted the highest 4th-grade math and 5th-grade ELA scores, though its 3rd-grade ELA (64.4%) was essentially at the district average and behind schools such as Alcott Elementary School, Hanby Building Elementary School, and McVay Elementary School — making early literacy the clearest area to watch.

Chronic absenteeism is an unusual strength: 3.7% in 2025–26, down from 10.6% in 2021–22 and far below the district's 18.2% — the lowest rate among all nearby schools, from Robert Frost Elementary School (5.2%) to Pointview Elementary School (17.6%). Overall, Mark Twain ranks 4th locally by school rank, behind Alcott Elementary School, Emerson Elementary School, and Whittier Elementary School. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 29.9% is moderate locally, yet it outranks lower-poverty neighbors such as Hanby and Frost. Subgroup results are mostly strong, with standout special education performance (97th percentile in 2023–24) and African American student results rising from the 40th to the 79th percentile. Gaps remain for low-income students (53rd percentile) and English language learners (17th percentile in 2023–24).
