Which towns are in the South-Western City School District?
Sales inside the boundary this year carried these mailing addresses most often: Grove City, Columbus, Galloway, Orient. Treat that as a map hint, not a rule. Mailing city, corporate limits and school district are three different maps with the same names on them, and a Grove City address can sit in a neighboring district.

"Not rated" means the state does not rate that component for that school's grade span. Which school an address feeds is an attendance-zone question for the district office, not a ZIP or a listing.
The State of Ohio rates every district from one to five stars overall and on six components: achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation, early literacy, and college, career, workforce and military readiness. The figures above are the state's, pulled from the 2025-26 report card; read the full card here: South-Western City School District on Ohio School Report Cards. The state republishes every September and this page follows it.
How do I confirm an address is actually in this district?
- The county auditor's parcel record. Every parcel lists its taxing school district. That is the legal answer for that address, and it is what I pull first.
- The district office. Confirm the attendance zone for the specific school, because zones inside a district move more often than the district line does.
- Never the listing. The district on an MLS listing is typed by an agent. It is usually right. It is not a record.
Boundaries change. This page reflects the state's 2025 boundary file and sales through September 14, 2026.

Which cities are in the South-Western City School District?
Homes that closed inside the district boundary in 2026 carried these mailing cities most often: Grove City, Columbus, Galloway, Orient. A mailing city is not a district boundary, which is exactly why the address has to be checked, not assumed.
What do homes in the South-Western City School District sell for?
1,268 homes closed inside the boundary between January 1 and September 14, 2026, at a median sale price of $315,000. That is one number across every home in the district, from the smallest to the largest, so it describes the district, not your house.
How do I confirm a specific address is in the South-Western City School District?
Two sources, in this order: the county auditor's parcel record, which lists the taxing school district for that exact parcel, and then the district office itself. Boundaries change, and attendance zones inside a district change more often. I pull the parcel record for any address my buyers are serious about before they write.
