Summary:
Columbus Bilingual Academy-North is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in this area, with 516 students. The school's overall performance, as measured by statewide rankings and test scores, is concerning, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past few years and earning a 1-2 out of 5 star rating from School Digger.
The school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, students at Columbus Bilingual Academy-North are struggling, with proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts falling well below the state average across all grade levels. While science proficiency is mixed, with 8th grade exceeding the state average, the overall academic performance indicates that the school needs to implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
With a student-teacher ratio of 36.8, which is higher than the state average, the school may face challenges in providing individualized attention and support to its students. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $9,449 in the 2018-2019 school year is in line with the state average, suggesting that funding alone is not the primary driver of the low performance. Addressing the school's attendance and engagement issues, as well as implementing strategies to improve academic achievement, should be the top priorities for Columbus Bilingual Academy-North in order to better serve its students.
