Summary

Cincinnati Achievement Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 169 students in grades K-8 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school is part of the Cincinnati Achievement Academy district, which is ranked 734 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cincinnati Achievement Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests that are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had only 13.3% proficiency in 5th grade science compared to the state average of 63.4%. Compared to nearby public schools like Parker Woods Montessori, Chase School, and Pleasant Hill Academy, Cincinnati Achievement Academy's test scores are much lower, often less than half the proficiency rates of these other schools.

The school also faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 50.4% to 70.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Addressing attendance issues should be a top priority for the school and district. While the school serves a predominantly African American student population from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's rankings for these student subgroups are also in the bottom 30-50% of Ohio schools, indicating systemic challenges that the school has not been able to effectively address.
