Summary

Performance Academy Eastland is a public charter elementary school serving 283 students in grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio. The school is part of the Performance Academy Eastland District, which is ranked 606 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Performance Academy Eastland faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 46.3% in 2021-2022 to 36.3% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, the school's performance on state tests is well below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%, and only 13.6% of 7th graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 50%.

However, the school does show some relative strengths in certain student subgroups. The school's African American students and English Language Learners have ranked in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 16 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the nearby Groveport Madison Local and Columbus City Schools District. Despite these strengths, the school's overall performance has steadily declined over the past decade, and it generally performs worse than the nearby public schools on test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.
