Summary:
Columbus Performance Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio. With an enrollment of 173 students, the school has faced inconsistent performance and academic outcomes compared to state averages. According to Columbus Performance Academy, the school is ranked 560 out of 828 districts in Ohio and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is mixed, with some bright spots in math proficiency but generally lagging behind state averages in both math and English language arts across most grade levels. For example, 4th grade math proficiency is 76.9% compared to the Ohio average of 69.1%, but 7th grade math proficiency is only 15.4% versus the state's 50%. The school also faces a significant challenge with a chronic absenteeism rate of 67.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is much higher than the state average.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 is relatively low, this advantage does not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes for students. Without data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's performance. Overall, Columbus Performance Academy appears to be a struggling school that faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.
