Summary:
The University of Cleveland Preparatory School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the area. With a total enrollment of 189 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population (92.06%), along with small percentages of Hispanic (2.65%) and multiracial (5.29%) students. However, this University of Cleveland Preparatory School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.
The school's academic performance is consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 0% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 62.1%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, just 6.3% of 3rd-graders were proficient or better, compared to 64.5% statewide. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 27.3% also falls far short of the 64% state average.
Compounding the academic challenges, the University of Cleveland Preparatory School faces an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 74.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $7,832 for the 2018-2019 school year was below the state average, potentially contributing to the resource constraints that may be hindering the school's ability to provide a high-quality education. With a student-teacher ratio of 21:1, the school must find ways to address these systemic issues and better support its students' academic and personal growth.
