SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 94% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Heritage Elementary School is a PK–5 public school serving 592 students in Lewis Center, Ohio, a Delaware County community within the Olentangy Local School District. On the state's most recent measure, it ranked #95 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 94th percentile, with a 5-star rating — while its district ranked #57 of 773 districts statewide.

Heritage is a consistently elite school, not a one-year success story. In ten reporting years it has never fallen below the 87th percentile statewide and has earned 5 stars in eight of them. Its test scores average about 88% proficient across seven assessments, compared with 85% for the district and about 64% for the state — roughly 24 points above the state average. It beats its own district in six of seven subjects. The exceptions to watch: 5th grade math, which dropped from nearly 10 points above the district in 2022-23 to slightly below it for three straight years, and a mild cooling from its 2022-23 peak (#52, 97th percentile) to #95 today.

Among the ten nearby Olentangy elementaries, Heritage ranks second, essentially tied on achievement with Peachblow Crossing Elementary (#92) and Shale Meadows Elementary School (#101), and clearly ahead of farther-down schools like Glen Oak Elementary School (#365). The clearest opportunity is attendance: Heritage's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.4% is better than the district's 9.2% but the highest of any nearby school, well above Wyandot Run Elementary School (4.3%). It achieves these results with a student–teacher ratio of 21.8 — third-highest in the cluster — and mid-pack spending, and its English Language Learner results rank 3rd of 318 schools statewide.
