Summary:

ZIP code 43015 is home to 13 schools serving about 10,391 students: six elementary schools, three middle schools, four high schools, and no alternative schools. They span four districts — Delaware City (7 schools, 3 stars), Olentangy Local (3 schools, 5 stars), Buckeye Valley Local Schools (2 schools, 4 stars), and Delaware Area Career Center (1 school). The largest are Olentangy Berlin High School (1,823 students), Rutherford B Hayes High School (1,612), and John C Dempsey Middle School (1,278).

The Olentangy Local schools are the clearest standouts. Olentangy Berlin Middle School ranks 37th of 1,046 (96th percentile, 5 stars), with 8th-grade science proficiency at 92.3% and chronic absenteeism of only 6.3%. Olentangy Berlin High School ranks 49th of 795 (94th percentile, 5 stars), graduates 97.6% of students, and has the area's lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 10.81%. Cheshire Elementary ranks 137th of 1,560 (91st percentile, 5 stars) and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 5.7%. Buckeye Valley Local High School (89th percentile, 4 stars) and Buckeye Valley Local Middle School (82nd percentile, 4 stars, improving each year) also perform well. In Delaware City, Rutherford B Hayes High School reaches the 78th percentile with 4 stars, and Ervin Carlisle Elementary School has climbed to 4 stars.

Lower down, Laura Woodward Elementary School (44th percentile, 2 stars) and James Conger Elementary School (41st percentile, 2 stars) rank at the bottom, with free/reduced lunch rates of 50.72% and 43.27%. Chronic absenteeism varies widely, from 5.7% at Cheshire to 27.5% at Woodward, and generally tracks with performance. Graduation rates hardly differ — 97.6% at Berlin High, 96.9% at Buckeye Valley High, 96.8% at Hayes High — so high schools separate themselves mainly through test proficiency. Delaware Area Career Center South Campus stands apart with no rank or test data, a 5.1 student-teacher ratio, and 99.05% free/reduced lunch. Spending data is from 2018–2019 and shows no simple relationship with results.
