Summary:
Orchard Park Academy is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 273 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer in the state, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past few years.
Academically, Orchard Park Academy struggles to meet state proficiency standards, with its students scoring significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in science and math. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 19.5%, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's best performance was in 3rd grade math, where 68.6% of students were proficient, still slightly below the state average of 64.4%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5%, which is much higher than the state average.
While the school's per-student spending of $8,268 and a student-teacher ratio of 21:1 for the 2023-2024 school year may indicate resource constraints, the data suggests that Orchard Park Academy is in need of comprehensive interventions and support to address its persistent academic and attendance challenges and improve student outcomes.
