Summary

Griffith Thomas Elementary School is a K–5 school in Dublin, Ohio, serving 552 students as part of the Dublin City School District, a strong district overall ranked 145th of 773 Ohio districts. In 2025–2026, Griffith Thomas ranked 377th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 76th percentile with 4 stars. Its recent rank history is fairly stable at that level (73rd to 77th percentile over the past few years), though the school was stronger historically, reaching the 86th percentile in 2018–2019.

Test results are a clear strength: in 2025–2026 the school scored above the Ohio average in every reported K–5 subject and grade, from 5th-grade science (80.0% proficient vs 62.7% statewide) to 5th-grade math (77.3% vs 59.1%). Against Dublin City district averages, the picture is mixed — above district in 5th-grade science, 3rd-grade math, and 5th-grade math, but below district in 4th-grade math and in 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade English Language Arts. Fourth-grade ELA is the weakest spot at 68.6% proficient in 2025–2026, down from 86.5% in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism is 13.1%, better than the district's 15.1% but higher than nearby Washington Elementary School (3.3%) and Ridgewood Elementary School (4.6%) in Hilliard City.

Among nearby Dublin City elementary schools, Griffith Thomas is the highest ranked in 2025–2026, ahead of Indian Run Elementary School (64th percentile), Riverside Elementary School and Hopewell Elementary (both 56th), and Daniel Wright Elementary School (38th). It is not the top nearby school overall, however — Ridgewood (89th percentile) and Washington (77th) in Hilliard City post stronger ranks and stronger results in several upper-grade subjects. Two trends are worth watching: the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch rose from 21.56% in 2022–2023 to 36.59% in 2024–2025 while the school held its performance level, and the student-to-teacher ratio climbed from 16.3:1 to 19:1, the highest among the compared traditional public schools. The school shows notable strength with special education, English language learner, and gifted students, while its low-income subgroup ranks below its overall results — a clear opportunity for more targeted support.
