Summary:
The Educational Academy for Boys & Girls is the sole elementary public charter school in this analysis, serving students in grades K-5 in Columbus, Ohio. With a predominantly Hispanic student population, the school faces significant challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state tests lag behind state averages across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 5th grade Science, only 25% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 63.9%. Similarly, Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 35.3% to 56.3%, well below the state averages of 58.9% to 66.8%. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4% may be contributing to these academic struggles.
Despite its challenges, the Educational Academy for Boys & Girls is working to provide educational opportunities to its students. With a per-student spending of $7,230, the school is operating on a limited budget, which may be a factor in its performance. As the only school in this analysis, the Educational Academy for Boys & Girls represents an area in need of improvement to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
