Summary

Worthington Park Elementary School is a K–5 school at 500 Park Rd in Westerville, Ohio, serving 378 students as part of the Worthington City district. The district overall is strong, ranking 169 of 773 Ohio districts (78th percentile, 4 stars), while Worthington Park ranks 601 of 1,560 schools in 2025–2026 (61st percentile, 3 stars) — above the state median but below its own district's average. Its rank has moved from 72nd percentile in 2022–2023 to 67th, then 57th, and now 61st. Encouragingly, chronic absenteeism improved from 21.5% in 2021–2022 to 12.6% in 2025–2026, now better than the district's 15.2%. Free/reduced lunch participation has risen to 43.39%, and the student–teacher ratio of 15.4 is lower than at most nearby schools.

On 2025–2026 state tests, the school scored above the state in every subject tested but below the district in all areas except 5th-grade science (74.2% versus 72.4% district and 62.7% state). Science and 5th-grade ELA are the clearest strengths, with 5th-grade ELA reaching 80.6%. The largest gaps versus the district are 3rd-grade math (65.6% vs. 78.1%), 5th-grade math (59.7% vs. 70.1%), and 3rd-grade ELA (67.7% vs. 76.3%). Third-grade math has trailed the district every year and fell below the state in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 before rising above it in 2025–2026.

Among nearby schools, Wilson Hill Elementary School (72nd percentile, 4 stars) and Worthington Estates Elementary School (65th percentile, 3 stars) post higher results in most subjects, and Oak Creek Elementary School and Olentangy Meadows Elementary School of Olentangy Local rank higher still. Worthington Park clearly outperforms Slate Hill Elementary School (38th percentile, 2 stars), which has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 58.66%. Annehurst Elementary School in Westerville City is a close peer — similar rank and demographics — but its student–teacher ratio is 20.2 versus 15.4 here. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank in the 84th percentile, while low-income students (39th) and English language learners (29th) trail, making those groups the most important area for growth.
