Summary

Deer Run Elementary School is a small K–5 school serving 356 students in the northwest Columbus suburbs of Dublin, Ohio, as part of the Dublin City district. It is the smallest of the ten Dublin elementaries compared here, yet it has ranked among Ohio's very best elementary schools for a decade: ten straight reporting years of 5-star ratings, never below the 97th percentile, and a #2 statewide finish in 2024–25 (currently 23rd of 1,560 schools). That is remarkable because the school substantially outranks its own district, which is rated 145th of 773 Ohio districts (81st percentile, 4 stars).

Several day-to-day measures help explain the results. Deer Run averages roughly 94–95% proficient across its eight state tests, against about 78% for the district and 63% statewide. Its chronic absenteeism was 4.2% in 2025–26 — the lowest in the comparison group and about one-third of the district's 15.1%; the next-closest nearby school is Mary Emma Bailey Elementary School at 5.5%, while Hopewell Elementary sits at 17.1%. Deer Run also has the most favorable student-teacher ratio in the group at 16.5, improving three years running, compared with 21.6 at Eli Pinney Elementary School. Its reported per-pupil spending of $12,226 (2018–19) is the highest in the group. Both genders and English language learners rank in the top percentiles of their statewide categories.

A few cautions are worth carrying forward. The 2025–26 results softened modestly from an exceptional 2024–25, with the statewide rank slipping from #2 to #23 — still top 1.5% statewide. With roughly 50–60 students per grade, a handful of students can swing percentages sharply, so year-to-year noise should be expected rather than read as a trend. Fifth-grade math is the recurring soft spot (87.9 in 2025–26), a dip shared by Scottish Corners Elementary School and Wyandot Elementary School, and 5th-grade science (90.6) trails Glacier Ridge Elementary at 92.0.
