Summary:

Educational Academy for Boys & Girls is a public charter elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 143 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, making up 90.91% of the student body.

The data analysis reveals that Educational Academy for Boys & Girls is a low-performing school, with consistently poor academic outcomes. The school's students perform significantly below the state and district averages on the Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is high, ranging from 18.2% to 29.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby public schools, such as Lindbergh Elementary, Avondale Elementary, and West Broad Elementary.

While the nearby public schools also struggle with academic performance, they generally outperform Educational Academy for Boys & Girls. For example, Lindbergh Elementary had 50% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to 20% at Educational Academy for Boys & Girls. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $7,230 in the 2018-2019 school year was lower than the nearby public schools, which ranged from $10,628 to $12,075 per student. The school's high chronic absenteeism and relatively low spending per student may be contributing factors to its poor academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
