Summary

Lincoln Park Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 287 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school is part of the Lincoln Park Academy District, which is ranked 603 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Park Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement and attendance. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 63.1% to 78.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 22.2% to 63.3%. While the performance of African American students at the school is relatively better, ranking in the top 30% of Ohio elementary schools, other groups like White students and students with disabilities perform much worse, ranking in the bottom 30% of schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Menlo Park Academy, another public charter school, consistently outperforms Lincoln Park Academy across all metrics. Menlo Park Academy ranks in the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools and has significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better student-teacher ratios. The relatively low spending per student at Lincoln Park Academy, at $7,208 in 2018-2019, compared to the nearby Cleveland Municipal District schools, may be a contributing factor to the school's poor performance.
