Better than 5% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

East Preparatory Academy is a K–8 charter school at 4129 Superior Ave in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 212 students and ranked near the bottom of Ohio's schools. It operates as its own district, and in 2025–26 it placed 1,478th of 1,560 Ohio schools (5th percentile, 0 stars) and 740th of 773 districts. That is not a one-year dip: the best recent year in the data was 2018–19 at the 27th percentile, followed by 15th percentile in 2023–24, 14th in 2024–25, and 5th in 2025–26.

Nearby schools make the picture clearer. Wade Park and Willson School rank lower, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, and University of Cleveland Preparatory School is nearly identical at the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Others do better: Horizon Science Academy-Cleveland Middle School is at the 25th percentile with 1 star, Stepstone Academy at the 22nd percentile with 1 star, and Campus International School, about a mile away in the Cleveland Municipal district, sits at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars.

Test scores are far below state averages. East Prep's proficiency averages 11.2% in math (state 57.6%), 31.8% in English language arts (state 62.1%), and 7.0% in science (state 62.0%). English is the relative strength, though still below state averages in every grade; math and science are areas of acute need, with 4th-grade math at 0%, 5th-grade science at 5.3%, and 8th-grade science at 8.7%. Chronic absenteeism was 57.5% in 2025–26, down from 67.8% but above the district figure of 54.3%. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio is 17.6, and 2018–19 spending was $8,840 per student. With only 212 students, grade-level results can swing sharply year to year, so single-year numbers should be read with caution.
