Intergenerational School The

Intergenerational School The is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in East Cleveland, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 210 students. The school's academic performance is consistently and significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates as low as 17.4% in 8th grade math compared to the state average of 46.3%. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, the school's predominantly African American student population (87.14%) struggles to achieve academic success. This highlights the need to ensure that schools serving predominantly minority and low-income communities are providing equitable educational opportunities. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,242, which is in line with the state average, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes.

Overall, the data for Intergenerational School The paints a concerning picture of a school that is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the root causes of the low academic performance, high absenteeism, and other challenges will be crucial for improving outcomes and ensuring that all students have access to a strong educational foundation.
