Our school

Ohio grades every school on a 0–100 Performance Index. Lincoln Park Academy earned a 5-Star rating for Gap Closing and a 5-Star rating for Progress in 2024–25 — placing it in the top tier of the state for both moving students forward and closing the achievement gap. The school's Performance Index grew from 59.4 to 68.1 in one year, a 15 percent increase. Lincoln Park Academy is a public charter school serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade in Cleveland, Ohio. Your child will be expected to do real work here — harder than what most Cleveland elementary schools ask. That standard doesn't change from kindergarten through 8th grade, and it doesn't depend on which class they're in. Every student is held to the same bar and supported until they can clear it. What sets Lincoln Park apart from a generic charter model is the combination: academic rigor alongside genuine character development, so students aren't just passing tests — they're learning how to learn, how to work hard, and how to persist. That's not a slogan. It's the design. It's a publicly funded school. There's no tuition, no fees, and no cost to families.

• Free breakfast and lunch are available for all students. • Free transportation is available for families in the service area. Lincoln Park Academy is located at 3185 W 41st St, Cleveland, OH 44109. You can reach the school by phone at (216) 263-7008 or online at acalincolnp.com.
