Summary

Granby Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1490 Hard Rd in Columbus, OH, serving 404 students in the Worthington City School District. Granby currently ranks 718 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), down from 77th percentile and 4 stars in 2021–2022. In 2025–2026 it scored below the Worthington City district average in every reported K–5 Ohio State Test area, with the largest gaps in 5th-grade math (−14.8 points), 3rd-grade ELA (−15.3 points), and 4th-grade math (−12.9 points).

Compared with nearby schools, Granby is near the bottom of the local set. Among nearby Worthington City schools, it has the lowest rank percentile and trails Liberty Elementary School and Brookside Elementary School, even though those schools have similar free/reduced lunch rates—suggesting poverty alone does not explain the gap. Attendance is a clear strength: Granby’s chronic absenteeism is 8.2%, about half the district’s 15.2% and better than Worthington Estates Elementary School, Brookside Elementary School, Albert Chapman Elementary School, Hopewell Elementary, and Olde Sawmill Elementary School. However, top local schools remain lower: Evening Street Elementary School (2.2%), Tyler Run Elementary School (4.4%), and Liberty Elementary School (6.0%).

Granby’s subgroup effectiveness is uneven: Special Education students improved to the 66th percentile, while English Language Learner students (30th percentile) and Low Socio Economic Status students (33rd percentile) remain below average. The most immediate academic concerns are 5th-grade math, which fell from 70.9 in 2023–2024 to 55.3 in 2025–2026, and 3rd-grade ELA, which dropped to 61.0, below both district and state. The strongest bright spot is 5th-grade ELA (77.6, above state by 7.2 points). Resources do not appear to be the obvious bottleneck: per-student spending was $13,074 in 2018–2019, higher than most nearby Worthington City schools except Evening Street Elementary School, and the student–teacher ratio is 16.4. Overall, Granby is a mid-to-lower performing school inside a strong district, and the priority is closing the gap to same-district peers, especially in 5th-grade math, 3rd-grade ELA, and support for ELL and low-SES students.
