Summary:
Imagine Columbus Primary Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-7 in this area, with 246 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years, indicating significant academic challenges.
The school's performance is concerning across multiple metrics. Its proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are well below state averages in all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly low math scores. For example, in 2024-2025, 0% of 6th and 7th graders scored proficient or better in math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.0%, which likely contributes to its academic struggles. Without data on free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting performance.
With spending per student of $7,252 and a student-teacher ratio of 22.3 to 1, Imagine Columbus Primary Academy appears to be operating with limited resources, which could be a factor in the poor academic outcomes. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and resource constraints will likely be key focus areas for improving student outcomes at this Imagine Columbus Primary Academy.
