Summary
Slate Hill Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 479 students at 7625 Alta View Blvd in Worthington, Ohio, part of the Worthington City district.
Slate Hill is currently ranked 969th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 38th percentile, 2 stars — the school's lowest position in the ten years of data available, down from a long stretch at 3 stars and the 49th–62nd percentile. Its district, by contrast, ranks 169th of 773 districts (4 stars). Averaged across its seven reported 2025–26 state tests, Slate Hill sits at roughly 57% proficient, versus about 64% statewide and about 76% district-wide. Nearby schools post much higher averages: Bluffsview (~91%), Evening Street (~88%), Olentangy Meadows (~77%), Wilson Hill (~76%), Worthington Estates (~72%), Annehurst (~72%) and Worthington Park (~71%). Only Devonshire, a Columbus City school, sits lower (~38%). Slate Hill also has the highest economic need in this comparison group, at 58.66% free/reduced lunch.
Third grade is roughly at state average (math and ELA both 62.8%), but results weaken in the upper grades: fifth-grade science is 41.1%, 21.6 points below the state and about 31 below the district, and fifth-grade math is 45.2%. One bright spot is chronic absenteeism, which has fallen 8.6 points over four years to 15.0%, now slightly better than the district's 15.2%. The school's strongest and most stable relative results are with its African American students, who have ranked in the 77th–84th percentile (4 stars) for three straight years, and with special education students. Class size (18.0) and per-student spending ($12,243, the only year reported) are mid-pack and don't explain the gap. Because 2025–26 is the first full year at this level, next year's results will show whether this is a one-year dip or a lasting pattern.
