The school’s recent history is mostly near the bottom of Ohio, with a relative high point in 2023–2024 (10th percentile) before falling to 2nd percentile in 2025–2026. Upper grades are weakest: 0% proficiency in 8th-grade science, 7th-grade math, 6th-grade ELA, and 8th-grade ELA, and most math grades from 4th through 8th are in the single digits. Relative bright spots include 5th-grade ELA at 29.4%, 4th-grade ELA at 27.3%, and 3rd-grade math at 25.9%, though all remain below district and state results. Measured effectiveness for low-SES and male students has declined in recent years. Some nearby charters, such as Bennett Venture Academy and Rise & Shine Academy, show higher proficiency despite lower 2018–2019 per-student spending, but those comparisons involve different school models and student populations. Data caveats: free/reduced-lunch data are blank, spending is from 2018–2019, and the simple averages are not official accountability scores.
