Summary

Colonial Hills Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 371 students in Worthington, Ohio, part of the Worthington City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 465th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 70th percentile, earning 4 stars — and its results have stayed in the mid-to-high range (59th to 79th percentile) since 2015–16, improving from the 63rd percentile in 2023–24. Proficiency was above state averages in every tested area except 5th-grade math, with notable strengths in 4th-grade math (83.3%) and 4th- and 5th-grade English language arts (84.4% and 81.1%).

Among Worthington schools, Colonial Hills ranks above Worthington Estates (65th percentile, 3 stars) and just below Wilson Hill (72nd percentile, 4 stars), but well behind Evening Street (94th percentile, 5 stars). That gap deserves context: Evening Street serves very few students from lower-income families (2.86% qualify for free/reduced lunch) and has 2.2% chronic absenteeism, while Colonial Hills has 35.04% and 10.6%. Against nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District such as Devonshire, Valley Forge, Salem, and Forest Park — all between the 10th and 18th percentile, with absenteeism of 29.8% to 51.8% — Colonial Hills performs in a different league.

Two areas are worth watching. Fifth-grade math has fallen below both district and state averages three years running (54.8% proficiency in 2025–26, after 53.4% and 55.7%), even as 5th-grade science improved to 75.7%. The school also shows a measurable equity gap: students from lower-income families rank at the 38th percentile (2 stars) and English language learners at the 22nd percentile (1 star), while other student groups rank higher. Chronic absenteeism improved sharply to 6.6% in 2023–24 before rising to 10.6% in 2025–26 — still below the district's 15.2%. Colonial Hills also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.9) among its same-district peers.
