Summary:
Global Ambassadors Language Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 301 students. While the school faces some significant challenges, it provides an important educational option for families in the area.
The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 953 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,130 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates on state tests are also well below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts. Additionally, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5% in 2024-2025, which can negatively impact student learning and progress.
Demographic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as it serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 46.18% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,121, and it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13:1 for the 2023-2024 school year. Addressing these issues and implementing strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for Global Ambassadors Language Academy and its district.
