Summary:
Capital Collegiate Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 166 students. Based on the available data, this school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking in the bottom 5% of Ohio schools over the past three years.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are alarmingly low across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the 5th-grade proficiency rate in Science was just 6.3%, compared to the state average of 63.4%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 0% to 38.9% across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, while the state averages were between 56.7% and 69.1%. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates also lagged significantly behind state averages.
In addition to the poor academic performance, Capital Collegiate Preparatory Academy faces other challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 68.8% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.7, which may indicate staffing and resource constraints that could contribute to the overall struggles. Overall, the data suggests that significant improvements are needed to provide a high-quality education and support the academic and personal growth of the students at Capital Collegiate Preparatory Academy.
