Summary

Dunloe Elementary School is a K–5 school at 3200 Dunloe Rd in Columbus, OH 43232 that serves 510 students as part of the Groveport Madison Local district, making it one of the larger elementary schools in its immediate area.

Dunloe's rankings are modest but its trend line is strong. It sits at the 28th percentile statewide (1 star, 1130 of 1560 schools in 2025‑26), yet it has improved four years in a row, and its percentile has more than doubled from its 2020‑21 low. Proficiency averages 48.7% across seven tests — below the district's 52.5% and the state's 63.8%, but ahead of the district in 4th‑grade ELA. Several student groups rank considerably higher than the school does overall, including African American students (59th percentile, 3 stars), Hispanic students (58th, 3 stars), and English language learners (40th, 2 stars). Chronic absenteeism of 26.7% beats the district's 31.2% for the fifth straight year and is down 11 points since 2021‑22, though it rose 3.5 points this year. The student–teacher ratio of 23.7 is the highest in the local comparison set, and the free/reduced-lunch rate rose from 66.8% to 81.48% between 2022‑23 and 2023‑24.

Nearby comparisons are informative. Sedalia Elementary, only 0.38 miles away in the same district, averages 59.9% proficiency versus Dunloe's 48.7%, with far lower absenteeism (19.9% vs. 26.7%). Dunloe also trails Asbury Elementary but leads Madison Elementary. Against the four closest Columbus City Schools elementaries — Liberty Elementary School, Woodcrest Elementary School, Oakmont Elementary School, and Leawood Elementary School — Dunloe posts roughly a 15-point proficiency advantage while spending about $1,500–$3,100 less per student (2018‑19 dollars). The main soft spots are 3rd‑grade math and ELA, which fell in 2025‑26, and gaps to the state in all seven tested areas.
