School Performance
Toledo Preparatory Academy is evaluated by its sponsor on progress toward achieving state and federal academic achievement goals as measured by the Ohio Achievement and Graduation tests as well as Scantron Performance Series evaluative tools. The academy also complies with the Ohio Revised Code regarding expected gains and progress for students enrolled at the academy.
The performance standard by which this school is measured is 75% passage rate on the Ohio Graduation Tests for grade 10 students and 75% passage rate on the Ohio Achievement Tests for grade 8 students. The method of measurement used by the sponsor to determine progress toward those goals during the 2007-08 school year was 75% passage or a 10% reduction in the number of students who failed to pass during the prior school year test cycle.
In 2007-08, the academy fully implemented Response to Intervention in order to provide a more tailored education to each student. Ohio Graduation Test preparation classes were provided for struggling students.
Value-added measure:
Reading: The academy demonstrated above-expected growth in grade 8.
Math: The school met expected growth in math in grade 8.
The school's overall composite rating for the 2007-08 school year was "above expected growth", indicating that more than one year of progress had been achieved.
