Cassady Alternative Elementary School, located on the northeast side of Columbus, Ohio, is a specialized K-5 institution within the Columbus City Schools district. As an "alternative" school, it provides an educational environment that differs from traditional neighborhood-based assignments, focusing on intentional community building and targeted academic support.

The school is known for its focus on creating a supportive culture where educators and staff work closely with families to ensure student success. Because it operates as an alternative program, Cassady often attracts students and parents seeking a specific learning environment that prioritizes smaller class focus, personalized attention, and a commitment to closing achievement gaps.
