Summary:
The Alliance Academy of Cincinnati is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Alliance Academy of Cincinnati district. This school stands out for its highly diverse student population, with 85.38% of students being African American and another 5.16% being Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 55.4% and mixed academic performance, with some grade levels performing above the state average in certain subjects, while others perform well below.
The school's academic performance on state tests is a mixed bag, with 3rd and 4th-grade students performing above the state average in English Language Arts, but 5th through 8th-grade students struggling to meet state benchmarks. In math, 3rd-grade students excel, but performance declines in the upper grades. Science proficiency is also a concern, with 5th-grade students scoring 56.4% (vs. Ohio 64%) and 8th-grade students scoring just 21.9% (vs. Ohio 62.1%). The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 1156 out of 1588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1039 out of 1577 in 2023-2024.
Overall, the data suggests the Alliance Academy of Cincinnati is facing significant challenges in terms of student attendance and academic performance, despite serving a highly diverse student population. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and its leadership to ensure students receive the quality education they deserve.
