Ohio College Preparatory School

The Ohio College Preparatory School is the only school in the data set, a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Maple Heights, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 219 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population, with 91.32% of students identifying as African American. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 8.6% in 8th grade math to 52.4% in 7th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 46.3% to 67.2% in math and 49.4% to 64.5% in ELA.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 70.8% is a major concern and likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's relatively low spending per student of $7,648 may be a factor in the challenges it faces. While the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8 compared to the state average, the consistently low performance across all subject areas and grade levels indicates a significant achievement gap that needs to be addressed.

Overall, the Ohio College Preparatory School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation. Targeted interventions and support are needed to improve educational outcomes for the students and address the underlying issues that are contributing to the school's struggles.
