Summary

Sheffield Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 144 students in grades K-6 in Sheffield Village, OH. The school is part of the Sheffield Academy District, which is ranked 612 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Sheffield Academy's 3rd grade math scores outperformed the state average, the school struggles in other areas. It has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (52.9%) compared to the nearby Vincent Elementary (42.1%) and the Lorain City schools (59.2%). Additionally, Sheffield Academy's 4th grade math and ELA proficiency rates were much lower than the state and nearby school averages.

The school also has a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (55.74%) than the state average and nearby public schools. This suggests socioeconomic factors may be impacting student performance at Sheffield Academy. Overall, the school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, uneven academic performance across grade levels, and lower test scores compared to nearby public elementary schools, indicating the need for substantial improvements to better serve its students.
