Whether you are a longtime Columbus Resident or someone considering a move to the Greater Columbus area, school district should be an important consideration for you. Communities in Columbus that have superior schools have shown superior price appreciation. I have listed each main Columbus School District's report card as reported from the State of Ohio.

The following info is a summary of each districts report card for 2004-2005. The 2005-2006 has not yet been released. Additional and more specific info can be found at www.ode.state.oh.us/reportcard .

School Districts with a Performance Index Score of 100+ should be condsidered Very Good.

Bexley was designated an Excellent rating. They met 23 out of 23 State Indicators and has a Performance Index Score of 101.8 out of 120. Very Good.

I believe the 2005 - 2006 data is available. . . would you be able to update this school ratings list. Your simple summary helps immensely to get the big picture of the area's school systems. Thank you!
