Original Research by School Decision on Educational Academy for Boys & Girls
Educational Academy for Boys & Girls is a very small district serving only kindergarten through fifth grade in Columbus. It operates a single school by that name and serves a student population that is overwhelmingly Hispanic. The enrollment is quite small, making this a tight-knit setting where staff and families likely know each other well.
The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic, and together with small shares of Asian, Black, and White students, Hispanic students make up the vast majority of the enrollment. Data on free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility and the count of English learner and special education students were not available, so a parent looking to understand the school's economic profile or the intensity of support services should inquire directly with the school about these populations.
State assessment results and a graduation rate were not available. This absence reflects the grade band served: Ohio does not administer state proficiency tests to students in kindergarten through second grade, and third through fifth grade results were not reported for this entity. A parent may want to reach out to the school directly to ask how students in grades three through five are performing on state assessments, or what local assessments the school uses to track progress.
Among Franklin County's districts, the school reports a chronic absenteeism rate that sits above the midpoint, meaning absences are somewhat higher than the median district in the county. At the same time, the school's per-pupil spending is in the upper range among the county's districts, suggesting a relatively resource-intensive operation for its size.
The school's recent operational landscape has not shifted markedly; available records show it as a functioning single-school entity in Columbus, though formal announcements of strategic changes or program expansions were not found. A parent interested in the school's direction or any near-term shifts in enrollment, curriculum, or staffing would benefit from contacting the school directly, since the published record is sparse.
The very small enrollment and single-grade-span focus mean this is a distinctly different context from a traditional public elementary school or a larger charter network. Families choosing this school are opting for a small, intimate setting with a Hispanic-centered community. Prospective families should connect with the school to understand its approach to early literacy, math, and language development, staffing stability, and how it addresses attendance patterns, since that is a visible point where the data shows room for improvement.
