Sullivant Elementary School

Summary:

Sullivant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 257 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 679 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sullivant Elementary School faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 55.4% to 91.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 5.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 62.1% statewide and 32.6% in the district. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Ohio elementary schools for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Siebert Elementary and West Mound Elementary, also struggle academically, they generally perform better than Sullivant Elementary. For example, Siebert Elementary had 51.6% of 3rd graders proficient in math, compared to Sullivant's 5.9%. Additionally, Sullivant Elementary's per-student spending of $9,694 in 2018-2019 is lower than the spending at some of the nearby schools, suggesting that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's poor performance.

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.
