Sheffield Academy

Schools in Sheffield Academy cover a single school: Sheffield Academy, an elementary-classified school serving grades K–7 in Sheffield Village, Ohio, with 188 students and a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1. Because it is the only school in this area, parents should read its results as the full picture for the Sheffield Academy district rather than as a comparison among local options.

The clearest positive trend is improvement over time. School rank moved from 1,200 of 1,577 in 2023–24 to 911 of 1,560 in 2025–26 — a gain of 289 positions — while the percentile rose from 24 to 42 and the star rating went from 1 star to 2 stars. The district-level rating, however, still sits at 505 of 773, or the 35th percentile, with 2 stars. Test results are uneven. The strongest 2025–26 result is 4th grade English Language Arts at 84.2% proficient versus the state's 61.8%, a difference of +22.4 percentage points. The school also topped the state in 4th grade mathematics (68.4% vs. 67.3%) and, in 2024–25, in 3rd grade mathematics (71.4% vs. 64.4%). Most other 2025–26 areas fell below state averages, including 5th grade ELA at 50% vs. 70.4%, 5th grade mathematics at 50% vs. 59.1%, 3rd grade mathematics at 54.8% vs. 62.1%, 3rd grade ELA at 56.3% vs. 63.4%, and 5th grade science at 57.1% vs. 62.7%.

The most serious concern is chronic absenteeism, reported at 58.5% for 2025–26, meaning more than half of students are chronically absent. That can weigh heavily on achievement and may help explain the uneven results. Free/reduced lunch data is blank, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero, and prior-year science and 5th grade results are unavailable, limiting year-to-year comparisons. In short, Sheffield Academy has momentum and proven strength in 4th grade ELA, but it still trails the state in most tested areas and must address absenteeism to spread that success across more grades and subjects.
