Summary

International Academy Of Columbus is a public charter elementary school serving 306 students in grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio. The school is part of the International Academy Of Columbus District, which is ranked 477 out of 828 districts in the state.

Academically, International Academy Of Columbus has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state tests generally below the state average. However, the school performs better than the Columbus City Schools District average, though it lags behind higher-performing schools like Hawthorne Elementary and Minerva France Elementary in the Westerville City district. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, International Academy Of Columbus stands out for its strong performance among African American students, ranking in the top 50-93 out of 615-610 Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup. This suggests the school may be effectively serving its diverse student population, which includes a significant number of English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring consistent resources and staffing could be key focus areas for the school to improve student outcomes.
