Summary

Alum Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 2515 Parklawn Dr in Lewis Center, OH, serving 664 students in the Olentangy Local district — one of Ohio's highest-ranked districts. In 2025-2026 the school ranked 133rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), and it has earned 5 stars in nine of the ten years on record, finishing in the state's top 100 four times.

Among the eleven nearby Olentangy elementaries, Alum Creek ranks 4th — but it does so with a much higher poverty rate than the schools just above it. Its 19.6% free/reduced-lunch rate is roughly triple that of Peachblow Crossing Elementary (6.5%), Heritage Elementary School (6.9%) and Shale Meadows Elementary School (9.4%). Alum Creek also has the largest classes in the group (22.3 students per teacher) and the lowest reported per-pupil spending ($9,414, from 2018-19, so read it as directional). The sharpest comparison is its nearest neighbor: Glen Oak Elementary School, less than a mile away with a similar poverty rate, ranks 365th (77th percentile) — over 230 places behind. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 5.6%, its lowest on record and well below the district's 9.2%.

The school's academic profile is uneven by grade. Grade 5 is the standout, with the highest 5th-grade math (90.3) and science (88.4) in the peer group and the second-highest 5th-grade ELA (92.6). Grade 4 ELA (77.2) is the weakest result of all eleven peers and 8.5 points below its own district — a recurring soft spot rather than a one-year dip. Alum Creek is especially effective with English learners (96th percentile statewide, 13th of 318 schools) and female students (96th), while low-income students rank lowest among its reported groups (81st percentile) — still above average statewide. Overall, its recent trajectory is stable-to-softening: this year's 91st percentile is down from last year's 95th, but it remains a top-decile Ohio school.
