Summary:

United Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 851 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming academically compared to state averages across Ohio.

United Preparatory Academy has consistently low test scores in various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 43.8% of 5th graders were proficient in science compared to 63.4% statewide. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.2%, which is likely contributing to the poor academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high student-teacher ratio of 85.1 to 1 and lower spending per student than the state average, which may be limiting the resources and support available to students.

Overall, the data indicates that United Preparatory Academy is a low-performing school that has been struggling for an extended period. The school is ranked in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in Ohio, suggesting significant improvements would be needed across multiple areas to better serve its students.
