Better than 16% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Leap Academy at North Fairmount is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, with 377 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leap Academy's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in math at Leap Academy, compared to 53.5% in the district and 64.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly weak in math, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.6% in 6th grade to 35.7% in 4th grade. English language arts proficiency is also low, with rates ranging from 21.9% in 6th grade to 41.2% in 5th grade. However, Leap Academy's science proficiency for 5th graders (55.9%) is higher than the district average (38.7%) but still lags the state (63.4%). Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue at the school, with rates ranging from 41.5% to 48.1% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages.

The nearby Rees E. Price Academy and Chase School also struggle academically but perform slightly better than Leap Academy on state tests. However, these schools still lag behind the district and state averages, suggesting systemic challenges in the area. The charter school options, IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc. and Orion Academy, have even lower academic performance than the traditional public schools in the area.
