Summary

Avery Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hilliard, Ohio, in the Hilliard City School District, with 432 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 400th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools—74th percentile with 4 stars. That is up from the 49th percentile in 2018–2019 and the 56th percentile in 2022–2023, showing a clear upward academic trend.

Avery exceeded Ohio’s state proficiency rate in every reported 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests subject and grade. Its average proficiency was about 77.1%, compared with roughly 73.7% for the district and 63.8% for the state. Fifth-grade science and English language arts were very slightly below district averages but still well above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is a standout: 4.5%, versus 12.2% for the district. The school has also improved special education results (81st percentile, 4 stars) and low-income student results (76th percentile, 4 stars, up sharply from 2 stars).

Compared with nearby same-district schools, Avery Elementary School is in the upper tier but not the absolute top. Ridgewood Elementary School ranks higher (89th percentile), while Hoffman Trails Elementary School and Darby Creek Elementary School are roughly tied at 74th percentile. Scioto Darby Elementary School is slightly higher at 77th. Avery is ahead of Hilliard Crossing Elementary School (60th), Norwich Elementary School (59th), Beacon Elementary School (47th), and J W Reason Elementary School (40th). Its main watch item is the student–teacher ratio, which rose to 17.0; if class sizes keep growing, parents may want to monitor whether gains continue.
