University of Cleveland Preparatory School

The University of Cleveland Preparatory School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 189 students. The school's performance data raises significant concerns, as it consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of Ohio elementary schools and struggles with low academic proficiency rates and extremely high chronic absenteeism.

Academically, the University of Cleveland Preparatory School is performing well below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate is 15% compared to the state average of 63.9%, and in 8th grade math, the proficiency rate is just 13.3% versus the state average of 46.4%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 79.3% is also alarmingly high, significantly exceeding the state average.

With a predominantly African American student population (92.06%), the University of Cleveland Preparatory School may need to implement culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems to ensure all students are succeeding. The school's consistent low ranking within the state suggests that significant interventions and improvements are necessary to provide students with a quality education and address the concerning academic and attendance issues.
