Summary:
There is only one elementary school in the data set, Springfield Preparatory and Fitness Academy, a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Springfield, Ohio. The school has a diverse student population of 140 students, but faces significant academic and attendance challenges, as reflected in its low school ranking and inconsistent test scores.
While the school excels in certain areas, such as 8th grade science and math, it struggles in others, like 3rd grade math where only 16.7% of students are proficient. This suggests the school may not have a consistent, effective instructional approach across all grades and subjects. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2% is extremely high, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's diverse student population, which could be an asset, the data indicates that Springfield Preparatory and Fitness Academy needs to implement targeted strategies and interventions to support students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Addressing these issues should be a top priority for the school's leadership and the district in order to improve the school's performance and provide a quality education for all students.
