Orchard Park Academy

Summary:

Orchard Park Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with a diverse student population. While the school is part of the Orchard Park Academy District, which is ranked 568 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating, Orchard Park Academy itself faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Orchard Park Academy has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 47.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Grant Elementary School, Hayes Elementary School, and Roosevelt Elementary School, all of which are part of the Lakewood City District and have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Orchard Park Academy's test scores are also generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, with the percentage of students proficient or better in Ohio State Tests/Mathematics ranging from 22.2% to 52.9%, compared to the state average of 46.3% to 67.2%.

While Orchard Park Academy's African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better compared to the overall school performance, they still lag behind the state and nearby school averages for these subgroups. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these subgroups to improve their academic outcomes. Additionally, Orchard Park Academy's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1369 out of 1676 Ohio elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1188 out of 1577 in 2023-2024, and its lower spending per student ($8,268 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby Lakewood City District schools, may be contributing factors to the school's challenges.

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.
