Summary:
Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 110 students. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with consistently low academic proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas compared to state averages.
The student population at Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence is predominantly African American (93.64%), with very few students from other racial/ethnic backgrounds. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are alarmingly low, with the highest rate being 25% in 5th-grade English Language Arts, well below the state average of 70.6%. Additionally, the school's 6th-grade math proficiency rate was 0%, indicating that none of the students tested at or above grade level. This consistent underperformance suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Further concerns include the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and its spending per student of $7,698, which is below the state average. These factors, combined with the lack of racial diversity and the school's overall academic challenges, indicate that Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence faces significant obstacles in supporting the educational needs of its students. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and the district to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment.
