Summary:
Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Trotwood, Ohio. This school stands out for its high percentage of African American students, significantly lower academic performance compared to state averages, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rate.
With 88.62% of its students being African American, Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy has a much more racially homogeneous student body than the state average. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates on Ohio state tests that are well below the state averages, particularly in 8th grade Science (20% vs. 64%) and 8th grade Math (12% vs. 46.4%). The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 53.6% is also alarmingly high compared to the state average.
Despite these challenges, Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy spends less per student ($7,712) than the state average, which may contribute to its academic struggles. Addressing the issues of racial disparities, low academic performance, high absenteeism, and resource constraints should be the top priorities for the school and the Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy district.
