W.c.cupe is one the greatest charter schools in Columbus,Ohio. for the last 11 years, the school was providing great service to the economically disadvantaged kids from differnt bacgrounds by addressing their needs and increasing their perfomences. I also like the leadership of the founders of having a sense of wilingness to serve,listen and make a positive decisions toward the schools.

I have been frustrated with the school's professionalism in the past, however, this year (2009-2010) has started off very well. The teachers were very organized on the first day. I was truly impressed.

I also worked for this school. I believe that the school is unorganized and not very well put together. There are no resources for teachers or students. I feel that these children deserve more. Also, the fact that this school doesn't have any specials except for PE is a joke. The kids get so tired of being in the classroom all day with no breaks. As a result to this, behaviors erupt and end up being a distraction for others students. I could go on and on. This school made me think all charter schools were terrible. Luckily, I was shown that there are some good charter schools out there.

I worked at W.C. Cupe for the first semester of this school year. I was not impressed with the quality of education I was expected to give students, and I did not feel that the administration was competent. I say stick with Public Schools.

This is my children's first year attending a charter school. I would rather stick to Columbus Public Schools. To many stuck up ppl in this school who act like they are better than they are. Can't never get through on the phone when you call. They need to learn how to run a better school.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.
