Summary:
Bennett Venture Academy is the sole elementary school in the data set, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 589 students in Toledo, Ohio. This public charter school has a diverse student population, with nearly half of the students being African American and significant representation from other minority groups. However, the school faces significant challenges, as it consistently underperforms academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages across grade levels and subject areas.
One of the most pressing issues at Bennett Venture Academy is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of over 50%, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's spending per student of $7,583 is relatively low, which may be a factor in its academic performance, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1.
Overall, the data suggests that Bennett Venture Academy is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, attendance, and overall school performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on improving the school's culture and climate.
