Summary

Global Village Academy is a public charter elementary school in Parma, Ohio, serving 240 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the state average on Ohio State Tests across various grade levels and subjects.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Global Village Academy achieved impressive proficiency rates, with 66.7% of 5th-graders proficient or better in science, 95% of 3rd-graders proficient in mathematics, and 80% of 3rd-graders proficient in English language arts. The school's performance has been relatively stable, with its statewide ranking ranging from 38th to 542nd out of over 1,600 Ohio elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, Global Village Academy excels in serving specific student groups, such as English language learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking among the top schools in Ohio for these populations.

While Global Village Academy outperforms nearby schools like Ridge-Brook Elementary School and Constellation Schools: Old Brooklyn Community Elementary, it lags behind the performance of Dentzler Elementary School, another Parma City school.
