Alliance Academy of Cincinnati, Cincinnati OH

Original Research by School Decision on Alliance Academy of Cincinnati

Alliance Academy of Cincinnati is a charter school serving grades kindergarten through eighth in Cincinnati, with an enrollment of about three-hundred-fifty students. The school's student body is predominantly Black, with a much smaller representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The specific makeup of free-or-reduced-price-lunch eligibility and special education enrollment is not publicly reported.

State testing data from the most recent school year shows mixed results. In math and English language arts across grades three through eight, about half of students met proficiency standards. Science performance was stronger, with proficiency approaching three-fifths of students. The science result stands out as the clearer strength. Math and reading results point to an area where a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand what instructional supports or interventions are in place.

The school's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint among the school districts in Hamilton County. Science is the one subject where the school's performance is closer to the county median. For math and reading, the gap is more pronounced.

Census and housing data for the 45207 zip code where the school is located shows modest home values relative to the state benchmark and monthly rents below state averages. The surrounding area is part of Cincinnati's neighborhood fabric, a city defined by its distinct hillside communities, riverfront location, and a strong downtown core anchored by corporate headquarters, cultural institutions, and a riverfront entertainment district. The neighborhoods immediately around Duck Creek Road have car-dependent characteristics typical of Cincinnati's hillside areas.

As a charter school operated as its own district, Alliance Academy sits outside the typical public-school tax and referendum structure. The school website was not available in the data provided, so specific information about curriculum, pedagogy, staffing, or school culture cannot be described here. A parent considering the school would benefit from a direct visit and conversation with the leadership to understand the instructional approach and community environment in detail.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
