Summary:
Schools in the Educational Academy for Boys & Girls area include just one school: Educational Academy for Boys & Girls, an elementary school in Columbus, Ohio serving grades K–5 with 182 students. This means parents are looking at a single-school district rather than choosing among multiple elementary, middle, or high schools in the same data set. Recent data show a school on an upward trajectory, with current strengths in math and clear areas to watch in English Language Arts, attendance, and class size.
The school’s ranking history is a major positive sign. It moved from the 18th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026, improving 547 rank positions and rising from 1 star to 3 stars. In 2025–2026, math was the standout: 3rd-grade math was 78.6% proficient versus 62.1% statewide, and 4th-grade math was 73.9% versus 67.3%. ELA was below state averages: 3rd grade 60.7% versus 63.4%, and 4th grade 56.5% versus 61.8%. Same-grade gains were large: 3rd-grade math rose 23.4 percentage points, 3rd-grade ELA 19.3 points, 4th-grade math 7.2 points, and 4th-grade ELA 9.8 points. This suggests real academic momentum, especially in math.
Other data point to context. Chronic absenteeism was 20.6% in 2025–2026, or about 1 in 5 students — roughly 37–38 students if enrollment is comparable. The student-teacher ratio was 22.7:1 in 2024–2025, which would equal about 8 teacher-equivalents for 182 students; no state benchmark is provided. The spending figure is $7,230 per student from 2018–2019, too old to describe current resources, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, 5th-grade math was a weak spot at 31.3% versus 56.7% statewide, science was 50.0% versus 63.4%, and ELA was 62.5% versus 67.7%; no 2025–2026 5th-grade scores are shown. Overall, the school is improving and math is strong, but ELA, attendance, class size, and data gaps deserve attention.
