Summary

West Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Blacklick, Ohio, serving 836 students in grades 1-4 as part of the Licking Heights Local School District. The school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools to the top 43% in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Elementary School's student performance on Ohio State Tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts for both 3rd and 4th grades. The school has excelled in the performance of its African American and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% and top 25% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for its Special Education and Disabled student subgroups has been relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools. The school has also seen a significant decrease in its chronic absenteeism rate, from 21.1% in 2022-2023 to 7.4% in 2024-2025, which is lower than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Summit Road Elementary and Lincoln Elementary School, West Elementary School has demonstrated a positive trajectory in its performance, with notable strengths in the academic achievement of specific student subgroups and a declining chronic absenteeism rate. However, the school may need to focus on enhancing support for its Special Education and Disabled student populations to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners.
