How T.C.P. World Academy compares with Ohio and U.S. medians
What stands out at T.C.P. World Academy
T.C.P. World Academy is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, enrolling 312 students.
Class loads run heavy: 24:1 is larger than about 91% of Ohio schools and 32% above the 18.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 90.2% of students qualify for free meals, 185% above the Ohio average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 312 puts it in the smaller third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 23 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Ohio schools statewide, it ranks #23, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (91% of enrollment) (diversity index 17/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 42.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 31.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Cincinnati's elementary schools, it stands alongside Idea Greater Cincinnati Inc (1,017 students): T.C.P. World Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (24:1 vs 30.8:1).
T.C.P. World Academy is a single-school charter district, so T.C.P. World Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
