Summary

Global Ambassadors Language Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 301 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school is part of the Global Ambassadors Language Academy district, which is ranked 538 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating.

Despite spending more per student than some nearby charter schools, Global Ambassadors Language Academy is struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% in 2020-2021 to 49.9% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. On state tests, the school's performance is generally below the Ohio state average across grade levels and subject areas, with only 37% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school also faces challenges in effectively serving certain student subgroups, with low rankings for Hispanic and male students.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Roosevelt Elementary School in the Lakewood City district, Global Ambassadors Language Academy generally underperforms across multiple metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student-teacher ratio. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past few years, suggesting the need for a closer examination of its practices and strategies to improve student outcomes.
