Cincinnati Technology Academy

Summary:

Cincinnati Technology Academy is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a diverse student population of 22.17% White, 26.89% African American, 47.64% Hispanic, and 3.3% two or more races.

The school has faced significant challenges, including fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 53.3% to 92.3% over the past few years, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 54.9% in the 2022-2023 school year. Academically, Cincinnati Technology Academy's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 4.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 62.1%. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mt. Healthy Virtual Academy and North College Hill Trojan Way Learning Center, Cincinnati Technology Academy is underperforming academically.

The school's funding and resources may be contributing to these challenges, as its spending per student ($6,747 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby traditional public schools, such as Riverview East Academy ($9,180) and School for Creative and Performing Arts ($12,342). Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has varied significantly over the past few years, ranging from 21.2 to 31.1, which may also be contributing to the academic challenges. Addressing these issues, such as funding, resources, and student engagement, will be crucial for Cincinnati Technology Academy to improve and better serve its students.

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.
