Summary

T.C.P. World Academy is a K–7 elementary school at 6000 Ridge Ave in Cincinnati's Pleasant Ridge area, enrolling 312 students, with 80.45% eligible for free/reduced lunch. It is a single-school district (T.C.P. World Academy) ranked 630th of 773 districts statewide, and its 2025–26 school rank is 1,136 of 1,560 (27th percentile, 1 star). The school serves a high-poverty population and reaches middle grades that most nearby elementaries do not; only Pleasant Ridge Montessori School matches its grade span.

Compared with nearby schools, T.C.P. has the lowest per-pupil spending ($7,044 in 2018–19) and by far the largest classes (24:1 versus 11–16:1 at most peers). Its chronic absenteeism rate (27.8% in 2025–26) is lower than every nearby school in Cincinnati Public Schools and Norwood City except The Norwood Montessori School, and far below the Cincinnati Public Schools district rate of 44.6%. The school's 5th grade English language arts proficiency (71.4%) is the highest among all nearby schools and slightly above the state (70.4%). However, math proficiency trails the state in all five grades tested by 10 to 30 points, and 4th grade is the weakest link in both subjects.

Over the past decade, T.C.P.'s rank has slid from the 66th percentile (2015–16) to the 27th (2025–26), including a 19-point single-year drop—the largest among nearby schools. Meanwhile, African American students have ranked in the top third or better statewide, reaching the 69th percentile in 2025–26 even as the school overall sat at the 27th. Science remains a persistent weakness, with 5th grade proficiency roughly half the state rate every year. Free/reduced lunch eligibility has fallen from 96.11% (2022–23) to 80.45% (2024–25). The school sits at the statistical middle of its peer group, but its data show both bright spots (5th grade reading, attendance) and clear priorities (4th grade and middle-grade math, science).
