Gables Elementary School

Summary:

Gables Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 428 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Gables Elementary School has a relatively diverse student population, with 42.06% White, 16.12% African American, 15.19% Hispanic, and 20.56% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Gables Elementary School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.7% to 38.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups vary, with the school performing relatively well for African American and Hispanic students but ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools for female students, Asian students, and students with disabilities.

When comparing Gables Elementary School to nearby schools within the Columbus City Schools District, such as Indian Springs Elementary and Ecole Kenwood French Immersion, Gables performs significantly worse in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. This disparity in performance may be attributed to the school's lower funding and resources compared to nearby districts like Upper Arlington City and Dublin City.

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.

Open Quote The staff is kind, accommodating, and engaged with students. My son is currently in the second grade and is thriving at this school. The diversity of families is amazing...and I could go on and on. This is Columbus City’s finest primary school in my view. No complaints of any kind, just well deserved praise. Close Quote

Open Quote I went to Gables all the way from kindergarten to 5th grade. I was very happy there. It's a great school, plus they have an ECLIPSE program. Close Quote

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.
