Summary:
Lake Erie College Preparatory School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Cleveland, Ohio area. This public charter school has a total enrollment of 279 students, with a predominantly African American student population (94.27%). However, the school has faced persistent academic challenges, as evidenced by its low rankings, poor test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates.
According to the data, Lake Erie College Preparatory School ranked 1282 out of 1577 Ohio elementary schools and received a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the lowest rates in 6th-grade Mathematics (3.8%) and 8th-grade English Language Arts (15.4%). Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 67.2% is extremely high, which likely contributes to the poor academic performance.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 21.4 is slightly higher than the state average, its spending per student of $8,046 for the 2018-2019 school year was lower than the state average. These resource constraints may be a factor in the school's ongoing challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Lake Erie College Preparatory School is facing significant academic and operational hurdles that require further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success.
