How Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills compares with Ohio and U.S. medians
What stands out at Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills
Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills is a mid-sized charter elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, enrolling 620 students.
At 16.8:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Ohio median, within a few percentage points of the 18.2:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Enrollment of 620 puts it in the larger third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 96% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is predominantly African American (97% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 6/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 620 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 92.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 24.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Cleveland's elementary schools, it stands alongside Campus International School (690 students): Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (16.8:1 vs 15.3:1).
Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills is a single-school charter district, so Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
