Summary:
Broadway Academy is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Broadway Academy district of Cleveland, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 401 students, the school's performance is consistently below state averages, ranking in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in Ohio. The student population is predominantly African American (90.52%), and the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism (58.2%) and lower-than-average funding, with spending per student at $9,261.
Academically, Broadway Academy struggles, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.9% to 74.2% across different grade levels and subject areas. Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency are particularly low, falling well below state averages. The school's science proficiency rates are higher, but still below state benchmarks. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which indicates a significant portion of students are missing substantial instructional time.
While Broadway Academy faces significant obstacles, the data suggests opportunities for improvement, such as addressing attendance issues, implementing culturally responsive teaching practices, and ensuring adequate funding and resources to support student learning. Addressing these areas could help the school provide a higher-quality education for its students and improve their academic outcomes.
