Summary:
ZIP code 43068 contains 11 schools serving about 7,777 students: eight elementary schools, two junior highs, and one high school, with no alternative schools. Ten of the 11 are in Reynoldsburg City, a district ranked 582 of 773 schools (25th percentile, 1 star), while Tussing Elementary is the only school in Pickerington Local (249 of 773, 68th percentile, 3 stars). That split matters, because school-level results vary far more than the district label suggests.
The clearest standout is Summit Road Elementary, the only 3-star school here (57th percentile) and the one with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.7%, well below the Reynoldsburg district rate of 32.6%. It posts Grade 5 ELA at 90.3%, Grade 4 math at 75.8%, and Grade 5 science at 71.0%, and it improved from 2 stars to 3 stars since 2023–2024. Taylor Road Elementary follows at 41st percentile with the lowest student-teacher ratio in the ZIP (13.3) and 14.9% absenteeism. Among middle schools, Waggoner Road Junior High (38th percentile, 2 stars) clearly outranks Baldwin Road Junior High School (23rd percentile, 1 star).
Math is the shared weak spot. Grade 7 math sits near 22% at both junior highs against a state figure of 48.6%, and Reynoldsburg High School — despite a 94.9% graduation rate and above-state American History results — has Algebra I proficiency of 30.8% versus the state's 61.6%, plus 46.8% chronic absenteeism. Baldwin Road has the ZIP's highest absenteeism at 47.0%. French Run Elementary School and Herbert Mills Elementary School both sit at 18th percentile. Note that Tussing's free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, and spending data are from 2018–2019.
