Summary

Blacklick Elementary School is a K–5 school in Blacklick, Ohio, serving 692 students as part of the Gahanna-Jefferson City school district, and in 2025–2026 it ranks 544th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 65th percentile, with 3 stars. That is a solidly above-average result, but well below the school's peak: in 2015–2016 it ranked in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, and the trend has generally drifted downward since. One standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 5.8%, compared with 17.3% across the district and higher rates at most nearby schools.

Test scores are strong in the upper grades. In 5th grade, 79.6% of students were proficient in science (state: 62.7%), 75.2% in math (state: 59.1%) and 82.3% in reading/ELA (state: 70.4%). Fourth-grade math is also above both district and state. The clearest weak spot is 3rd grade math, where only 50.0% were proficient, below the district's 65.2% and the state's 62.1%. The school posts very strong subgroup results for African American students and special education students (5-star and 4-star rankings), while Asian students rank in the bottom quartile across several years and low-income student results have slipped from the low 70s to the 64th percentile. The share of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rose to 25.14% in 2024–2025 from 14.73% the year before.

Within its own district, Blacklick sits mid-pack: High Point Elementary School (86th percentile), Jefferson Elementary School (74th), Lincoln Elementary School (72nd) and Chapelfield Elementary School (70th) all rank above it, while Goshen Lane Elementary School (49th) ranks below. Compared with nearby schools outside the district, Blacklick looks comparatively strong — Rose Hill Elementary School (36th percentile), Waggoner Road Elementary (31st) and Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School (21st) trail it, and their absenteeism rates are far higher. Blacklick's student-teacher ratio of 20.9 is among the higher ones in its district peer group.
