Summary

Asbury Elementary School is a K–5 school at 5127 Harbor Blvd on Columbus's east side (43232) serving 503 students, and it is one of four K–5 elementaries in the Groveport Madison Local district. In 2025–26 the school ranked 1069th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools — 31st percentile, 2 stars — which is its best mark in a decade and better than its district's 24th-percentile standing. About 79% of its students were economically disadvantaged in 2023–24.

Two things stand out as genuine strengths. First, attendance: Asbury's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% is well below its district's 31.2% and lower than most nearby schools, including Performance Academy Eastland (35.9%) and Easthaven Elementary School (42.4%). Second, third-grade math: at 75.9% proficiency, Asbury is above its district (56.1%) and state (62.1%), and it is the highest of the ten nearby schools compared. That figure has climbed steadily from 33.8% since 2022–23, and third-grade reading (57.5%) also beats the district.

The clear weak spot is fifth grade, especially math and science. Fifth-grade math sits at 26.1% (district 41.4%, state 59.1%) and science at 34.8% (district 52.6%, state 62.7%), while fifth-grade reading is 59.4%, above the district — suggesting a subject-specific issue rather than a weak group of students. Sedalia Elementary, 0.49 miles away in the same district, reaches 67.6% in fifth-grade math and 63.5% in science, showing what a similar school achieves. Students with disabilities also lag, ranking in the 24th percentile, while English Language Learners jumped to the 71st percentile (4 stars). Overall, Asbury is a modestly performing school doing better than its district and neighbors on attendance and early math, with upper-grade math and science the biggest constraint on further progress.
