While Herbert Mills has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 25.3% White, 34.84% African American, 10.26% Hispanic, 19.33% Asian, and 10.26% two or more races, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science was 55.2%, compared to the Reynoldsburg City score of 51% and the Ohio state score of 64%. Additionally, Herbert Mills has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16% in 2020-2021 to 32% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.
Interestingly, when looking at the school's ranking for different student subgroups, Herbert Mills performs better for African American students, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. However, the school's rankings for other subgroups, such as White students, Asian students, and students with disabilities, are much lower, often in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. This suggests that the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support the academic achievement of its African American student population, which could be leveraged to improve the overall educational outcomes for all students.
