Elevated Excellence Academy

Summary:

Elevated Excellence Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 94 students in grades K-8 in Cincinnati, Ohio, located in the Elevated Excellence Academy District, which is ranked 829 out of 835 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elevated Excellence Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has an overwhelmingly African American student population, ranging from 96.55% to 99.45% over the past few years, which is much higher than the racial diversity seen in surrounding schools like Monfort Heights Elementary, Mt. Healthy Preparatory and Fitness Academy, and College Hill Fundamental Academy. Academically, Elevated Excellence Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests significantly lower than state and district averages. The school has also seen a dramatic increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.5% in 2018-2019 to 82.6% in 2022-2023, which is extremely high compared to nearby schools.

These findings suggest that Elevated Excellence Academy faces significant challenges in providing a quality education for its students. The stark racial and socioeconomic disparities between the school and its surrounding peers raise concerns about educational equity and access to quality education in the area. Further investigation is needed to understand the root causes of the school's struggles and implement targeted interventions to improve academic performance, attendance, and overall student outcomes.

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.
