of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Summary

Cheshire Elementary is a PK–5 school at 2681 Gregory Rd in Delaware, OH, serving 508 students in the Olentangy Local district—one of Ohio’s strongest—even though its mailing address is Delaware and much of the surrounding town belongs to a different district.

Academically, Cheshire Elementary holds a 5-star rating and ranked 137th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (91st percentile), but its relative position has slipped: it was 7th in the state in 2017–2018 and 3rd among nearby Olentangy Local schools two years ago, now 6th. Fourth-grade math is a standout at 94.7% proficient—the highest in the comparison set—and 3rd-grade math and ELA also beat district averages. The 5th grade is the soft spot: math (76.3%), ELA (87.1%), and science (79.6%) all fall below Olentangy Local’s averages, and 5th-grade math has declined for four straight years. Because these same students scored 86.2% in math as 3rd graders, the pattern looks more like a cohort issue than a schoolwide problem.

Cheshire Elementary also has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the comparison group at 16.5:1 and the smallest enrollment (508), giving it a structural edge in individualized attention, with English-learner and special-education students ranking in the 92nd–97th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 13.7% to 5.7%, well below Olentangy Local’s 9.2% and far better than nearby Delaware City schools such as Laura Woodward Elementary School (27.5%) and James Conger Elementary School (13.5%). The metric to watch is rising economic need: free/reduced-price lunch has grown from 2.49% to 11.61% in three years, and the low-SES subgroup fell from the 95th to 81st percentile. Overall, the school remains strong, but its slipping peer ranking, 5th-grade math decline, and rising economic need are worth monitoring.

Friday, February 6, 2015

We couldn't be more pleased with Cheshire Elementary. The Principal, Mr. Syroka, and his staff are all very engaged with the students and parents. One thing that impressed me is that they always call you by name. I feel we truly are lucky to be a part of this school's community because they keep to a high standard of education while also making it fun to support it with various programs and activities.
