Cleveland College Preparatory School

Summary:

Cleveland College Preparatory School is a public charter elementary school serving 217 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with a predominantly African American student population (85.71%).

The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools based on academic performance. With a 0-star rating and low proficiency rates on state tests, the school's performance lags behind both the state average and a nearby charter school, Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills, which has a similar student demographic. Additionally, Cleveland College Preparatory School has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 77.9%, suggesting the school serves a predominantly low-income student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16 to 21.8 students per teacher, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with African American students performing better than the overall school average but still lagging behind the state average, and female, male, and low-socioeconomic status students performing significantly lower than the state average. Compared to Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills, Cleveland College Preparatory School has a lower spending per student and a higher chronic absenteeism rate, further highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.
