Original Research by School Decision on Green Inspiration Academy
Green Inspiration Academy is a tuition-free, public charter serving kindergarten through eighth grade in the greater Cleveland area. The school operates as a single-school district and enrolls a small cohort of students across all grades, with reasonably balanced class sizes throughout the elementary and middle years.
The student body is predominantly Black, with a very small number of multiracial students and one Hispanic student in the enrollment. The school does not report free-or-reduced-price-lunch data or the counts of students with individualized education plans or English learners, so a parent seeking detail on those aspects of the school's composition should ask the school directly.
State assessment data were not available, so performance against state proficiency benchmarks cannot be drawn from public records here. However, the school has publicly reported earning Ohio's Momentum Award in both 2023 and the 2023-2024 school year. That award recognizes schools that raise their Performance Index by a set threshold year-over-year and achieve a high value-added progress rating, which measures student growth independent of starting point. The back-to-back recognition signals sustained academic growth over a meaningful stretch. For families considering this charter, that trajectory is the chief academic indicator in hand.
Chronic absenteeism at the school runs below the midpoint among Cuyahoga County's districts, meaning attendance is stronger than the county median. That is a concrete strength, as chronic absenteeism is a barrier to learning and a predictor of long-term outcomes.
Per-pupil spending at the school sits in the upper range among the county's districts. The school invests more per student than most peers in its county, a fact that may reflect both its small scale and the intensity of its program design or staffing choices. A parent might ask what that spending supports, both in classroom instruction and in support services.
The school does not serve high school grades, so no graduation rate is available. Students completing eighth grade would transition elsewhere for high school.
The school's location is Warrensville Heights in the greater Cleveland area. No additional information on the town's housing market, economic profile, or broader community context was available, so a parent relocating or new to the area would benefit from local research beyond what this profile contains.
