COLUMBUS PERFORMANCE ACADEMY

Columbus Performance Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Columbus Performance Academy school district, located in Columbus, OH with about 213 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Columbus Performance Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Columbus Performance Academy, located in the Italian Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, is a public charter school that serves students in grades K–8. Operating under the Performance Academies network, the school focuses on a "whole-child" approach to education, blending rigorous academic instruction with an emphasis on character development and the arts. Their mission is designed to prepare students for success in high school and beyond by fostering a structured environment that prioritizes both core curriculum mastery and social-emotional growth.

A hallmark of the school’s philosophy is its integration of physical fitness, music, and performance-based learning into the daily school experience. By offering a smaller, community-focused setting, Columbus Performance Academy aims to provide personalized attention to its students, ensuring that individual learning needs are met.
