Better Together: 5 Star Building

We are excited to share that our school recently received distinguished recognition from Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.


Our school also recently received the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Overall 5-Star Building Award. On the 2023 Ohio School Report Card, Eli Pinney Elementary received an overall rating of 5 stars, meaning our school significantly exceeds state standards. For components, Pinney significantly exceeded or exceeded state standards in four of four areas.


While Ohio School Report Cards and educational rankings are one part of the story when it comes to detailing efforts and measuring success in a school district, we are incredibly proud of these recognitions. They are a testament to our relentless pursuit of preparing students for success. These accolades also highlight our teachers' consistent commitment to learning excellence and high-quality student support year after year. We are incredibly proud of our dedicated teachers and staff, all of whom arrive at work each day ready to foster a nurturing and inspiring learning experience for our students.


We are also grateful to our students and parents, as they, too, contribute to making Pinney Elementary a wonderful place to learn and work. Additionally, these achievements not only reflect positively on Pinney but also shine a spotlight on the exceptional educational opportunities available in the Dublin City School District.

Always Growing: Make A Difference

As we continue learning the R-Factor disciplines, this month we focused on R5 which is Make a Difference. This discipline teaches students to be caring, empathetic, and intentional with their responses because they impact those around us. Students learned that our responses “Rs” create “Es” for other people which is why we must be intentional and choose disciplined responses to events. We emphasized the importance of sharing gratitude with others and helping each other. We will ask students about ways they can “make a difference” in their classrooms, school, home, and community.
