Summary

Leap Academy is a PK–7 elementary school with 333 students at 2001 Baltimore Ave in Cincinnati, part of Cincinnati Public Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1366th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 12th percentile, or 1 star — while the district overall ranks 609th of 773 (21st percentile, 1 star). The long-term trend is upward from a very low base: Leap rose from the 1st percentile in 2018–2019 to a peak of 19th percentile in 2023–2024. Since that peak, however, it has slipped to 16th and then 12th percentile, placing it in the bottom eighth of the state.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's biggest headwind. At 49.8% in 2025–2026, nearly half of students are chronically absent — above the district's 44.6% and far above schools like Fairview-Clifton German Language School (8.7%) and Dater Montessori School (22.9%). It has also worsened steadily, from 29.0% in 2022–2023. Academically, math is the clearest weakness: every tested grade falls below both district and state, with 4th, 5th, and 7th grades at or near 20–26% proficiency. ELA is mixed: 7th-grade ELA (48.7%) is the only measure where Leap beats the district (46.4%), but 5th-grade ELA (29.4%) is the lowest among nearby schools. Fifth-grade science slipped to 38.2%, below the district's 42.6%, after reaching 55.9% the prior year.

Leap has a relatively favorable student–teacher ratio of 12.4, lower than most nearby Cincinnati Public Schools and second only to Chase School's 11.7, yet outcomes remain near the bottom of the local group — a sign that staffing alone does not explain results. Nearby rankings vary widely: Fairview-Clifton German Language School sits at the 78th percentile with 4 stars, while Roberts Academy (15th), Rees E. Price Academy (9th), Chase School (18th), Roll Hill School (13th), and Orion Academy (26th) are closer to Leap's standing. Subgroup results offer one relative bright spot: the school's African American students rank at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, above the school's overall 12th percentile, though that figure has declined from 52nd percentile in 2023–2024.
