Summary

East Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 250 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school is located in the East Academy school district, which is ranked 778 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 67.2% to 77.1% over the past 5 years, well below average test scores across all grade levels and subjects, and struggles to effectively serve its African American, low-income, and special education student populations. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.7% of 5th graders were proficient in science compared to the state average of 63.4%, and math proficiency rates ranged from 0% to 35%, far below the state.

Compared to nearby district schools, East Cleveland City School District and Cleveland Municipal, East Academy spends less per student ($7,886 vs. $11,389 to $15,134) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (15.6 to 19.7 vs. 13.5 to 16.2). Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism, improving instructional quality, and providing targeted support for its most vulnerable students will be critical to driving meaningful improvements in student outcomes at East Academy.
