Summary

Scioto Darby Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hilliard, Ohio, serving 376 students as part of the Hilliard City school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 353rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 77th percentile with 4 stars — above the district's own profile of 3 stars and the 69th percentile.

Compared with nearby Hilliard City elementary schools, Scioto Darby performs near the top. Its simple average of reported 2025–2026 proficiency rates is about 78.5, versus roughly 73.7 for the district and roughly 63.8 for the state; only Brown Elementary School was higher nearby. Fifth-grade science is a clear strength at 80.4%, above every nearby school with reported data, the district's 70.8% and the state's 62.7%, and it has stayed high across three years. Third-grade math (81.8%), third-grade ELA (83.3%) and fourth-grade math (82.6%) are also near the top of the group. The relative soft spots are fifth-grade math (71.4%) and ELA (78.6%), each slightly below district averages but comfortably above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is 6.3%, about half the district's 12.2%, though Avery Elementary School (4.5%), Darby Creek Elementary School (5.1%) and Hilliard Crossing Elementary School (5.5%) are lower.

The school's trend is strongly upward: its rank percentile rose from 56% in 2023–2024 to 70% and then 77%, the highest in the available decade. Its special education subgroup ranked in the 96th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, even higher than the school overall, and low-income students improved from the 44th percentile with 2 stars to the 61st percentile with 3 stars. Resources look favorable: a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools, the smallest nearby enrollment, and per-student spending of $12,368 in 2018–2019, tied for the highest nearby, though that figure is dated. Notably, its free/reduced-price lunch rate of 36.44% is higher than several top-performing neighbors, yet its outcomes remain close to or above theirs.
