Summary:
Central Point Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Central Point Preparatory Academy district in Columbus, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 229 students, the school's academic performance and student engagement metrics raise significant concerns.
Central Point Preparatory Academy's academic proficiency rates on state tests are alarmingly low, falling far below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math and ELA proficiency rates were just 9.5% and 9.1%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 62.1% and 64.5%. Similarly, the school's 4th grade math and ELA proficiency rates were 0% and 8.3%, compared to the state averages of 67.2% and 64.1%. This trend continues through the higher grades, with the school's 7th grade math and ELA proficiency rates at 0% and 27.3%, compared to the state averages of 49% and 61.7%. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate in 2022-2023 was also extremely low at 8.3%, compared to the state average of 64%.
Compounding the academic challenges, Central Point Preparatory Academy has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 84.2% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. The school's student population is predominantly African American (51.97%), with smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. While the specific free/reduced lunch rate is not provided, the high chronic absenteeism suggests that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These factors indicate a need for comprehensive intervention and support to address the systemic challenges facing this school and improve student outcomes.
