Summary:
The University of Cleveland Preparatory School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the University of Cleveland Preparatory School District located in Cleveland, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 164 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 school years, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is a major concern, with extremely low proficiency rates on Ohio state tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 64.4%. Additionally, the school had a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 67% that same year, significantly above the state average. With below-average per-student spending of $7,832 in 2018-2019 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1 in 2023-2024, the school may be operating with limited resources to provide a high-quality education.
Overall, the data indicates the University of Cleveland Preparatory School is struggling significantly and requires substantial intervention and support to improve student outcomes and school performance. Addressing the root causes of the low test scores, high absenteeism, and poor rankings should be a top priority for the district and school leadership.
