Despite the school's diverse student population, which is predominantly Hispanic and African American, Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy has struggled to meet academic standards, with significantly lower proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests compared to state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 65.3%, which may be contributing to its poor academic performance.
While the school's per-student spending of $10,699 is relatively high, this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The data suggests that Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the school's low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation may be crucial steps in improving student outcomes and ensuring that all children in the Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy district have access to a high-quality education.
