Summary:
Cleveland Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary public charter school in this analysis, serving students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school's performance data paints a concerning picture, with consistently low statewide rankings, poor academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates, indicating significant room for improvement across multiple areas.
According to the data, Cleveland Preparatory Academy has a diverse student population, with 30.28% White, 33.8% African American, 27.46% Hispanic, and 8.45% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.3% to 45.5% across different grade levels and subjects. The school's four-year graduation rate of 40.9% in the 2018-2019 school year is also much lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 54.5% in the 2023-2024 school year is extremely high.
The data suggests that the school's low spending per student of $9,644 in the 2018-2019 school year, coupled with a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in the 2022-2023 school year, may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges.
