Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary

Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-4 in the Constellation Schools district in Cleveland, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 222 students.

While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 4th-grade math and English language arts, it faces several challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.1% and a district ranking that places it in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools. The school's diverse student population, with 39.64% White, 16.22% African American, and 31.08% Hispanic students, reflects the demographics of the local community. However, the high percentage of students (60.81%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement.

The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates declining in both math and English language arts from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024, while 4th-grade proficiency rates have improved. Additionally, the school's below-average per-student spending of $8,862 and relatively high student-teacher ratio of 27.7 to 1 may indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve educational outcomes for the students at Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary.
