International Academy Of Columbus

Summary:

International Academy Of Columbus is a public charter elementary school serving 306 students in grades K-8 in Columbus, Ohio. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 83.33% of students identifying as such.

Despite consistently ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, International Academy Of Columbus has some bright spots. Its African American students have consistently outperformed their peers at the school, ranking in the top 4 stars out of 5 on SchoolDigger for this subgroup. However, the school's overall academic performance lags behind the state averages, with proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts falling short across multiple grade levels. Nearby schools like Hawthorne Elementary and Minerva France Elementary, both part of the Westerville City district, significantly outperform International Academy Of Columbus on state tests.

Another area of concern for International Academy Of Columbus is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 9.4% in 2019-2020 to 31.9% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state average. Nearby schools like Northtowne Elementary, Forest Park Elementary, and Devonshire Alternative Elementary also struggle with high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that this may be a broader challenge in the area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
