Summary

Tussing Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 701 students. The school is part of the Pickerington Local School District, which is ranked 257 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tussing Elementary School faces challenges in academic performance, particularly for its special education and Asian student populations. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with below-average proficiency rates on state tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 58.7% compared to the district's 75.8% and the state's 64.4%. Tussing Elementary also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.6% to 18.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, the school does show some strengths in supporting its African American and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 80 and top 64 Ohio elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. In comparison, Fairfield Elementary, another school in the Pickerington Local district, outperforms Tussing Elementary across most academic metrics, while Woodcrest Elementary, a school in the Columbus City Schools district, has significantly lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism compared to Tussing Elementary.
