Summary
Bluffsview Elementary School in Columbus, OH is a K–5 school with 399 students in the Worthington City district, and it ranks among the top elementary schools in Ohio. In 2025–2026 it placed 59th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 96th percentile, with 5 stars — while its district ranks 169th of 773 (78th percentile, 4 stars). This isn't a one-year spike: since 2015–2016, Bluffsview has never fallen below the 85th percentile statewide. It is the highest-ranked school in the nearby comparison group, ahead of Evening Street (97th, 5 stars) and Worthington Hills (173rd, 4 stars), and well ahead of same-district Slate Hill (38th percentile, 2 stars) and Granby (54th percentile, 3 stars).
Achievement is broad. In 2025–2026, Bluffsview exceeded district and state proficiency in all seven tested areas. Fifth grade stands out: 98.2% proficient in ELA, 96.3% in math, and 89.3% in science. The relative soft spot is 4th grade ELA at 81.9%, down from 88.1% and 91.4% the two prior years — still comfortably above district and state, but worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 7.8%, about half the district's 15.2% and lower than most nearby schools except Evening Street (2.2%), Liberty (6.0%), and Worthington Hills (6.4%).
Bluffsview serves a more economically mixed population than the most affluent nearby schools: 16.29% of students received free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, versus 2.86% at Evening Street and 6.63% at Worthington Hills. Its student–teacher ratio improved to 16.3, and its most recent per-student spending figure ($11,668, from 2018–2019) is among the lowest in the comparison group. Subgroup results are strong for male, female, low-income, and special education students, suggesting effectiveness across many populations rather than one narrow group.
