Summary

Alcott Elementary School is a K–5 school with 537 students on Mount Royal Avenue in Westerville, Ohio, part of the Westerville City school district.

Alcott is one of Ohio's strongest elementary schools, ranking 154th of 1,560 elementary schools statewide — the top 10% — and earning 5 stars in 2025–2026. It has held 5 stars every year in the data, back to 2015–2016. Notably, its own district ranks 270th of 773 Ohio districts (65th percentile, 3 stars), so Alcott's results sit a full star band above its district's overall profile. In 2025–2026 Alcott beat both its district and the state on all seven grade/subject tests, by roughly 15 points over the district and 21 points over the state on average. Its highest mark, 5th grade English language arts at 91.2%, is about 21 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is 6.3%, versus 18.2% district-wide — roughly a third of the district rate every year on record.

Among nearby schools, Alcott posts the highest composite proficiency and the highest state rank percentile in its comparison group. Hanby Building Elementary School serves a similar poverty profile (20.7% vs. 22.0% low-income) yet averages about 8 points lower proficiency, ranks in the 73rd percentile, and spends $1,226 more per student. Alcott also edges the Olentangy Local schools Walnut Creek Elementary and Freedom Trail Elementary on composite proficiency while serving a larger share of low-income students and spending less. Its nearest neighbor, Fouse Elementary School (0.96 mi), ranks in the 66th percentile with chronic absenteeism of 12.8% — double Alcott's rate under the same district policies. Things to watch: 3rd grade ELA (78.9%) is the lowest 2025–26 mark, 5th grade science fell about 10 points to 85.7%, and low-income and special-education subgroup percentiles have slipped in recent years.
