Broadleigh Elementary School

Summary:

Broadleigh Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 277 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade.

Broadleigh Elementary has struggled with significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 76.7% in the 2020-2021 school year, and well below average academic performance on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 4.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 62.1% statewide. The school's African American and English Language Learner students perform better relative to their peers statewide, but the school's female, male, and low-socioeconomic status students perform in the bottom 25% of Ohio schools.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity of Broadleigh, such as Eastgate, East Columbus, and Fairmoor, also struggle academically and have similar low rankings and performance metrics to Broadleigh, suggesting a broader challenge within the Columbus City Schools District. In contrast, the Bexley City School District, located just a short distance away, has several high-performing elementary schools, such as Cassingham, Montrose, and Maryland, with significantly higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
