Summary:
Cleveland Preparatory Academy is the only school in the Cleveland Preparatory Academy district, located in Cleveland, Ohio, and serving about 107 students in grades K–8 even though it is classified as an Elementary school.
Academically, the school's clearest bright spot is 4th grade in 2025–2026, where math proficiency was 81.8% versus a state rate of 67.3% and English Language Arts was 72.7% versus 61.8% — the only two results above state averages in the data. The school has also improved in the state rankings over three years, moving from 1,464 of 1,577 (7th percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024 to 1,091 of 1,558 (30th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 and 1,076 of 1,560 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, though it remains below the state median. The district rank is 590 of 773 (24th percentile, 1 star).
Challenges are concentrated in the upper elementary and middle grades. In 2025–2026, 5th grade science was 15.8% proficient versus 62.7% statewide, a 46.9-point gap; 5th grade math was 21.1% versus 59.1%; and 7th grade math was 20.0% versus 48.6%. In 2024–2025, 6th grade ELA was 16.7% versus 54.5%. Chronic absenteeism stood at 73.3% in 2025–2026, meaning roughly three in four students. Average proficiency across listed tests was 44.9% in 2025–2026 versus 62.0% statewide. Families should note that with only 107 students, grade-level percentages shift by about 8–9 points with a single student's change, and some data — free/reduced lunch, plus a 2018–2019 graduation rate for a K–8 school — are blank or not meaningful.
