Summary:
Columbus Performance Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio. This school stands out for its high percentage of African American students, low statewide ranking, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, which are significant challenges the school must address.
Academically, Columbus Performance Academy exhibits mixed results, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average in math, but well below average in English Language Arts and science. The school has pockets of academic strength, such as high proficiency in 5th grade math and 3rd grade ELA, but also struggles with very low proficiency in upper elementary and middle school ELA. These disparities suggest the school may be failing to provide equitable, high-quality education across all grades and subjects.
In terms of resources, Columbus Performance Academy has per-student spending below the state average, but a student-teacher ratio slightly better than the state norm. However, the school's overwhelmingly African American student population, which is not representative of Ohio's broader demographics, raises questions about access and equity within the school system. Overall, the data indicates that Columbus Performance Academy is an underperforming school that requires significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure all learners receive the education they deserve.
