Global Ambassadors Language Academy

Summary:

Global Ambassadors Language Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with a diverse student population of 40.2% Hispanic, 28.38% African American, and 18.92% White students.

The school's academic performance, as measured by Ohio state test scores, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 54.5%, compared to the state average of 64%, and its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 51.7%, compared to the state average of 62.1%. Compared to nearby schools, such as Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary and Orchard Park Academy, Global Ambassadors Language Academy's performance is mixed, outperforming some schools but underperforming others, like Roosevelt Elementary and Harrison Elementary in the Lakewood City district.

Global Ambassadors Language Academy has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 49.9% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This is a concerning trend, as chronic absenteeism is often linked to lower academic achievement. The school's performance on state tests also varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling. While the school spends $11,121 per student, which is higher than some nearby schools, its academic performance is not consistently better, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.

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.
