Global Village Academy

Schools in Global Village Academy amount to a single school in a single-school district: Global Village Academy, a K–8 school classified as elementary, located at 5720 State Rd in Parma, Ohio, with 235 students. Because the district (Global Village Academy) contains only this one school, district and school ratings describe the same students against different comparison pools. One classification gap is worth knowing: the area summary counts zero middle schools, yet the school actually serves grades K–8. Data coverage is uneven — three years of rank history, two years of test scores, one year each of absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, and student–teacher ratio, and a spending figure from 2018-19.

Academically, students outperform Ohio averages in most tested areas. In 2025-26 the school beat the state in 11 of 14 grade/subject tests, including every math grade 3–8 (averaging +16.1 points above state) and both science grades (averaging +19.9). Fourth grade math reached 100% proficiency against a state figure of 67.3 — the highest value in the data set. English Language Arts is the soft spot: it cleared the state in only three of six grades, and 3rd, 6th, and 8th grade ELA finished below state. Rankings sit in the top third — 235 of 773 Ohio districts and 530 of 1,560 schools in 2025-26 — though that slipped from 382 of 1,558 and 4 stars the year before, even as average proficiency rose from 69.6% to 71.8%.

Context numbers stand out: chronic absenteeism of 4.6% (2025-26) alongside 76.6% of students economically disadvantaged (2024-25), a student–teacher ratio of 22.9 (2024-25), and $6,848 per-student spending (2018-19, roughly seven years older than the achievement data). Grade-level swings between years are large in both directions; they reflect different cohorts rather than individual growth, and with roughly 26 students per grade, a few students can move a rate substantially. Science is the clearest improvement signal.
