Summary

Waggoner Road Elementary is a K–5 public school in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, serving 691 students as the largest elementary campus in Reynoldsburg City, where roughly two-thirds of students are economically disadvantaged.

Academically, the school sits in the bottom third of Ohio elementary schools, but it is moving in the right direction. Averaged across tested subjects, proficiency rose from 46.2% in 2023–2024 to 51.8% in 2025–2026 — about 5.6 points — lifting the school from below its district average to slightly above it, even as the district's own scores dipped. Third-grade math (56.5%) and third-grade reading (60.9%) are the brightest spots, and fifth-grade science is above the district average. Attendance is a quiet strength: 19.3% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, far better than the district's 32.6% and better than several Reynoldsburg peers, including Slate Ridge Elementary School, Herbert Mills Elementary School, and French Run Elementary School.

The persistent weak spot is fifth-grade math, which has trailed the district in each of the past three years (32.9% in 2025–2026) and sits roughly 26 points below the state. Fourth-grade reading has barely moved in three years, students with disabilities have remained in the bottom quarter of comparable schools, and the school has one of the district's higher student-to-teacher ratios at 19.7. Nearby schools outside the district offer context: Blacklick Elementary School in Gahanna-Jefferson City, plus Everest Elementary School and Broad Peak Elementary School in Licking Heights Local, all post higher proficiency while serving far fewer low-income students. Licking Heights is the more telling comparison, reaching much higher proficiency with very low absenteeism — evidence that poverty does not set a fixed ceiling.
