Summary:
Harvard Avenue Performance Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 312 students enrolled. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 716 out of 1,558 Ohio elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,191 out of 1,596 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating. This suggests the school is struggling to perform at a high level compared to other elementary schools in Ohio.
The school's test scores are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average, such as 3rd grade math at 84.6% proficient versus 64.4% state average, while others perform significantly below, like 7th grade math at 3.7% proficient versus 50% state average. Scores in English Language Arts tend to be higher than in Math and Science across the grade levels. The school also faces a major challenge with an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 60%, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.
Without more context on the school's demographics, resources, and other factors, it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the reasons behind the school's performance. However, the data paints a picture of a struggling elementary school that is performing below state averages in many areas. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and potential areas for improvement at Harvard Avenue Performance Academy.
