Original Research by School Decision on Columbus Collegiate Academy
Columbus Collegiate Academy is no longer a standalone district. The school was part of United Schools Network, a charter operator in Columbus that historically ran two Columbus Collegiate Academy middle school campuses alongside two elementary schools under the United Preparatory Academy name. In the most recent reorganization, all four schools were consolidated into a single district and rebranded under the United Preparatory Academy / United Schools name.
For a parent looking for information about Columbus Collegiate Academy, the key change is that the school identity, enrollment data, report cards, and governance now appear under United Preparatory Academy in state reporting systems and enrollment materials. This consolidation means that families seeking current data on academics, student outcomes, or enrollment will find the school listed as part of the United Preparatory Academy district rather than as a separate Columbus Collegiate Academy entity.
The two former Columbus Collegiate Academy middle school campuses—one on Main Street and one on Dana Avenue—continue to operate, but they are now part of a unified district structure. A parent evaluating these schools will encounter them through the United Preparatory Academy / United Schools brand in official channels, even though the Columbus Collegiate Academy name remains recognizable locally.
State assessment data, graduation rates, and other accountability metrics for these schools are now reported under the consolidated United Preparatory Academy district. Enrollment numbers, demographic breakdowns, and other operational details are similarly consolidated in the district's official reporting. A parent seeking to understand the academic profile and performance of the former Columbus Collegiate Academy should look for those metrics under the United Preparatory Academy district name in Ohio's school report card system.
