Summary

Ohio Connections Academy Inc is a public charter virtual school located in Worthington, Ohio, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 5,305 students. While the school has seen a gradual increase in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 82.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, it has also experienced a rise in chronic absenteeism, reaching 11.5% during the same period.

Compared to the state average, Ohio Connections Academy Inc consistently underperforms in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 25.4% to 34.3%, significantly lower than the state average of 47.6% to 64.4%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts were also below the state average, ranging from 34.2% to 61.2% compared to the state's 54.4% to 67.7%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate, while improving, still lags behind the performance of some nearby charter schools, such as Columbus Preparatory Academy and Cornerstone Academy Community School, which had four-year graduation rates of 86.4% and 90.3%, respectively, in the same school year.

Another factor that may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges is its relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 38.7 to 41.4 over the past few years, significantly higher than the ratios of nearby charter schools, such as KIPP Columbus (8.8) and Oakstone Community School (6.0). Additionally, the data suggests that schools with higher percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, such as Unity Academy (91.07% free and reduced-price lunch), may face additional challenges in academic achievement, though the specific socioeconomic factors for Ohio Connections Academy Inc are not provided.
