Summary

Cincinnati Technology Academy is a small, alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a focus on technology and preparing students for careers in that field. While the school has seen some successes, such as high graduation rates in certain years, it also faces significant challenges that set it apart from nearby alternative schools.

One notable issue is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.1% to 54.9% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Mt. Healthy Virtual Academy (51.1% in 2024-2025) and North College Hill Trojan Way Learning Center (57.1% in 2024-2025). Additionally, Cincinnati Technology Academy's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science, with only 10% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.6%.

While the school has seen significant fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a low of 53.3% in 2019-2020 to a high of 92.3% in 2021-2022, this volatility is concerning, especially when compared to the more stable graduation rates of nearby schools like Mt. Healthy Virtual Academy (91.2% in 2024-2025) and North College Hill Trojan Way Learning Center (88.7% in 2024-2025). These challenges suggest that Cincinnati Technology Academy may be facing unique obstacles in supporting its student population, and further investigation into the underlying factors could provide valuable insights for the school and the Cincinnati Technology Academy district.
