Summary

Ohio College Preparatory School is a K–8 charter school in Maple Heights, Ohio, a Cleveland-area suburb, serving 179 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 267th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 83rd percentile, with 4 stars — and its district ranked 89th of 773 districts (88th percentile, 4 stars). That is a dramatic turnaround: from 2015–2016 through 2023–2024 the school sat in the 11th–22nd percentile with 1 star, then hit 2 stars in 2024–2025 and 4 stars now.

The school far outranks its neighbors: STEAM Academy of Warrensville Heights ranks 716th of 1,560 (54th percentile, 3 stars), while Warrensville Heights Elementary School (1,224th), Columbus Intermediate School (1,245th) and Barack Obama Elementary School (1,311th) each sit at the 20th percentile or below with 1 star, and Green Inspiration Academy ranks 1,435th (8th percentile, 0 stars). Math and science are the clearest strengths — 100% proficiency in 5th and 8th grade science and in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade math, with 5th grade math at 88.9%. 8th grade math was 100% here versus 37.5% at STEAM and 52% statewide. English language arts is strong but uneven: 3rd grade 87.5%, 5th 78.9%, 6th 62.5%, 7th 60% and 8th 75%, while 4th grade was 45.5%, below the state average of 61.8%. Results are broad-based — the school ranks in the top 4% of Ohio schools for African American students and the top 15% for students from low-income families, with female students at the 51st percentile.

Chronic absenteeism remains the clearest challenge: the rate fell from 82.4% in 2021–2022 to 54.9% in 2025–2026, but more than half of students are still chronically absent. That is higher than nearby traditional schools such as Warrensville Heights Elementary School (24.4%) and Central Primary School (27.8%), and closer to local charters Green Inspiration Academy (52.2%) and STEAM Academy of Warrensville Heights (59.8%). The school achieves this with relatively modest resources: per-student spending was $7,648 in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby schools, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.2. Some caveats: enrollment is small at 179, so percentages can swing; the spending figure is several years old; nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons apply only to overlapping grades.

This school is a joke.I am trying to get an understanding to how and why the assignments are allowed or not allowed to be turned in due to disciplinary standards. The staff and faculty are not in touch with the needs of their students. No communication when there is an issue. Close Quote
