Summary

Oak Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 649 students in Lewis Center, Ohio, a Delaware County community north of Columbus, and it operates within Olentangy Local Schools, one of the strongest districts in the state. Statewide, Oak Creek ranks 286th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars) for 2025-2026, and every tested subject and grade sits above the state average — by roughly 7 to 23 percentage points.

Within its own district, though, Oak Creek lands 6th of 8 Olentangy elementaries, and its results are uneven. Third grade is the weak spot: math proficiency of 69.2% is the lowest of the eight (the district is at 83.2%) and third-grade reading is second-lowest. Fourth grade is the bright spot — math at 89.0% is the only 2025-2026 result where Oak Creek tops the district average, and it is second-highest among peers. The same cohort pattern shows up year over year: students gain roughly 8 to 9 points in math between 3rd and 5th grade, so the school clearly moves kids forward — the issue is that each incoming 3rd-grade class arrives further behind. Attendance is a genuine strength, with chronic absenteeism at 7.7% versus 9.2% district-wide. Compared with nearby schools outside the district, Oak Creek outperforms Annehurst Elementary School, Worthington Park Elementary School, and Slate Hill Elementary School in every subject reported, despite serving a less affluent population than two of them.

The context matters most: the share of students from low-income families rose from about 15% to 22% in two years, and the school's lowest-income students now rank at the 59th percentile with a 3-star rating. Families should read Oak Creek as a well-above-average school whose results reflect a changing intake more than weak instruction — with 3rd-grade support the key area to watch.
