of 1,558 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 10% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

West Park Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 219 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below the state average.

West Park Academy faces significant challenges in serving its students effectively. The school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 61.2% to 82.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Across all grade levels and subject areas, West Park Academy students perform well below the state average on Ohio state tests, with proficiency rates often less than 30% at each grade level. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status student groups.

Comparing West Park Academy to its higher-performing neighbors provides context for the scale of the challenges the school must address. For example, Brooklyn School, which is 1.5 miles away, has proficiency rates 30-40 percentage points higher than West Park Academy across many subject areas. Additionally, West Park Academy has lower per-student spending of $7,061, compared to $8,000-$17,000 per student at nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's struggles to improve student outcomes. Despite these challenges, West Park Academy has consistently been one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio for the past 10 years, with little to no improvement in its rankings or test scores during this time period.
