Summary

Eastland Preparatory Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 320 students. The school has faced significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 69.4% to 84.8% over the past few years, which are much higher than the state average.

Eastland Preparatory Academy's academic performance has also been a concern, with test scores on the Ohio State Tests consistently and significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 0% to 46.7% in mathematics and 6.7% to 46.7% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 47.6% to 69.1% in mathematics and 54.4% to 67.7% in English Language Arts. Interestingly, nearby schools like Bridge Gate Community School, KIPP Columbus, and Patriot Preparatory Academy have significantly higher test scores than Eastland Preparatory Academy.

Another concerning gap is the lack of available data on Eastland Preparatory Academy's graduation rates. Additionally, the school's spending per student in the 2018-2019 school year was $6,549, which is lower than the spending per student at some nearby schools, such as Bridge Gate Community School ($7,399) and KIPP Columbus ($8,189). The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated, ranging from 12.9 to 24.4 students per teacher, which is generally higher than the ratio at nearby schools like KIPP Columbus, which has a much lower ratio of 8.8 students per teacher.
