FPA Annual Report, FY15 - Franklinton Preparatory Academy

Franklinton
Preparatory
Academy
Preparation for Life
DearFranklinton Preparatory Academy Friends,
Families and Supporters:
Michael Reidelbach
Chief Executive Officer
Marty Griffith
Chief Operating Officer
The opening of Franklinton Preparatory Academy on September 3, 2013, marked both the end of
many years of hard work and the beginning of what we hope is a decades-long mission to serve the
interests and the needs of high school students on the west side of Columbus. We are grateful for the
confidence our parents have placed in us. It is a pleasure beyond description to engage with our young
women and men, helping them grow, achieve an excellent education and become young adults who
take charge of their future.
As the first public high school to open its doors in the Franklinton neighborhood for over 32 years,
Franklinton Preparatory Academy exists because of the grit, determination and perseverance of many
people including the great citizens of Franklinton and the Hilltop. We are proud to be working handin-hand with citizen leaders, community organizations, local businesses and other stakeholders helping
to make positive things happen on the west side. We chose this neighborhood to open our school
precisely because of the deep sense of commitment and loyalty that Franklinton and Hilltop residents
feel toward each other and now, thankfully, to us.
We are truly fortunate to operate our school in the completely renovated Chicago Avenue School
building. Built in 1897, our school combines the architectural beauty of the late 19th Century with
the high-tech capacity of the 21st Century. The result is a striking architectural landmark that has
been re-purposed and re-launched to meet the needs of the Franklinton and Hilltop communities for
generations to come.
Part of our commitment to the community is demonstrated through our partnership with Central Ohio
Youth For Christ (YFC). YFC has deep roots in our neighborhood through its after-school programs and
community outreach. Because both organizations operate out of the Chicago Avenue School, we are able
to leverage our strengths and our networks to expand our reach enabling more young people to achieve
an excellent education, develop strong character and, if desired, pursue spiritual guidance as well.
It is an honor and a privilege to work with and form relationships with the extended FPA family as we
strive together to reach our education and life journey goals. Working together, with your help, we will
continue the mission of FPA, in the heart of Franklinton, for decades to come.

meetings are available for review in the FPA office. Those interested in serving on FPA’s Governing Board should
contact Marty Griffith for Board consideration.
WHO WE ARE
Franklinton Preparatory Academy is a grade 9 through
12 public tuition-free charter high school serving
students primarily from Franklinton, the Hilltop, and
the West Side. It is located at 40 Chicago Avenue,
one mile west of the Broad Street and High Street
center of Columbus Ohio. It is advantageously
situated close to major museums, learning centers,
universities and major corporate centers in Central
Ohio. FPA began operations in September of 2013.
We opened in the Annex to the Old Chicago Avenue
School as it was going through the final phases of
the $4.5 million dollar renovation that transformed
the school to its current state. FPA leases the second
and third floor of the 1897 Chicago Avenue School
and moved in to our current space in April of 2014.
On September 2 of 2014, FPA began its second year
of operations in our beautiful, natural light infused
spacious structure. FPA is pleased to be part of the
restoration of Chicago Ave. School to its rightful
place as a community touchstone, and an important
resource to the current revitalization of the entire
Franklinton community.
OUR VISION - OUR MISSION
Our Vision: Preparation for Life.
This is a tall order that we take very seriously. It is
essential that our students mature into capable adults
who can make good decisions for themselves, and
who will be able to support themselves and their
families with meaningful employment.
Our Mission: To work collaboratively with our
students, parents and community stakeholders
to prepare FPA graduates to pursue and obtain
meaningful post-FPA placements in careers, colleges,
trade-schools or one of the branches of the armed
services.
As we designed our school, substantial research
confirmed that students similar to Franklinton
students will thrive after graduation if they have
strong relationships with friends, with teachers
and school personnel, with mentors and academic
advisors, and with those from the community
who will be working with FPA students. Positive
relationships are the glue that keeps students in
school, showing up every day to focus on their
learning, working toward high school graduation
and success in careers, college and/or the military.
FPA students meet all of Ohio’s graduation
requirements. Standards approved by the Ohio
Board of Education direct student learning, in
addition to standards identified by a variety of
job getting and job keeping national and state
organizations. We have developed a continuous
improvement plan for the school that guides our
institutional thinking into the future. Our operating
policies, procedures and practices reflect Ohio
requirements and educational best practices.
STUDENTS THE HEART OF LEARNING
As the first high school to open its doors in Franklinton
in over 30 years, we hold a deep commitment to our
community and our students. For too long, students
in Franklinton and the Hilltop were overlooked and
underserved, bussed from their neighborhoods to
high-schools 5 to 10 miles from home. When FPA
opened in September 2013 we did so with the support
and collaboration of our neighborhood stakeholders. It
is obvious to us that our commitment to Franklinton is
reflected back to us by the commitment our students
make to Franklinton Preparatory Academy. Our
overarching goal is for
our students to claim
FPA as their home,
their oasis and their
launching pad for
successful living after
graduation. Franklinton
and the Hilltop are
home to some of the
most amazing your
people we’ve had the
pleasure to work with.
The faculty noted the following as FPA student
strengths. These attributes serve our students now
and, with continued focus and development, into their
future: FPA students are independent, resourceful,
have empathy, support their friends, and are loyal
and creative. They have the ability to trust, can call
forth survival skills, are accepting of change, and are
adaptable. FPA students find humor in many things,
are talkative, easily strike up conversations with adults,
are eager to learn and experiment with technology
processes and, given a project that captures their
interest, ambitiously complete the project with focus
and enthusiasm.
LEARNING -- BY ALL MEANS
Mastery Learning
FPA is committed to assuring that every student
will graduate from high school able to demonstrate
the skills and abilities needed to obtain and keep
employment now and into their future. This means
that students MUST demonstrate mastery of important
content, whether this takes a long time or a short time,
before they move on to other work. Our focus is the
demonstration and practical application of learning, not
on sorting students or counting hours spent in a seat.
Students work toward well defined learning objectives.
Teachers provide paced group instruction, one-to-one
tutoring, or self-paced learning with programmed
materials. Specific and frequent feedback to
students is essential. Students participate in direct
instruction, work collaboratively with classmates,
or are engaged in independent learning. Students
show evidence of their learning against expected
learning objectives.
Blended Learning
Blended learning combines the best practices from
online schools with face-to-face interactions between
teachers and other students. FPA uses GradPoint to
provide Common Core and Ohio Standards based
content from 6th grade level through Advanced
Placement courses. Students begin work where
they need to and advance at a pace that suites their
individual learning style. Flexibility is important so
students working on similar content often group
together to explore recommended projects included
in the program. Teachers facilitate learning, monitor
progress, and augment instruction with specific units
to enhance skill development. Benchmark, formative
and summative assessments are included within each
course.
Hybrid Learning
Students who are working full time, pregnant, have
a child, or who can’t commit to a fully scheduled
school day are able to work towards graduating from
high school through FPA’s Hybrid Learning Program
(HLP). The HLP is a combination of online classes,
scheduled tutoring support, and collaborative seminars
with other hybrid students that offers significant
support for students who are not able to be in the
school building all day, every day. This unique program
allows FPA to give genuine support to students who
otherwise would not consider high school graduation
as a viable option while building and deepening
important relationships that keep students connected
to our school.
Art, Music, Movement, Theatre
Too often in too many high schools, extracurricular
classes are inaccessible to students. FPA rectifies this
by offering a wide variety of Art, Music and Movement
classes scheduled at the end of our school day.
During any given Quarter, these classes may include
Art, Comic-Book Art Production, Dance, Basketball,
Ultimate Frisbee, Printmaking, Martial Arts, Cooking,
Creative Writing, and Theater, to name several.
Classes are facilitated by community experts in each
area for a total of 18 weeks. Topics and teachers
change each semester to provide students with an
opportunity to engage in an arts survey experience.
Instructional Goals are identified from current ODE
standards in each of the arts areas. These activities
focus on developing the creative capabilities of
FPA students and, we firmly believe, add valuable
experiences to helping shape a well-educated person.
Career Experiences Shadowing and Internships
In meeting our central mission of high school
graduates who are prepared to be successful in a
career, we compiled employers’ expectations of
successful employees. In addition to core academic
skills, FPA students will successfully demonstrate a
range of employability skill sets as their gateway to
career experiences. Businesses want employees who
can demonstrate skills in human relations, personal
development, continued learning, character and
leadership. These are skills that are developed over
time and with real-world practice.
Practice has been made
available to FPA students
who have been involved
in a number of community
service opportunities. These
are focused on local needs,
and are an excellent way for
students to plan activities,
work together, solve problems,
and be proud of their
accomplishments. To name
a few, students helped clear
the Family Dollar parking lot of unsightly rubbish and
they contributed food and clothing for students who
suffered a devastating fire. Amanda Ambassadors
are partnering with Franklinton Board of Trade
and Keep Columbus Beautiful in the “adoption”
of Dana Ave from Broad to Sullivant with ongoing
activities. Students were able to participate in Youth
in Government, a mock-legislative session sponsored
by the YMCA. FPA students worked in pairs to create
potential legislation, making presentations to 400
students from across Ohio at the State House. A
social studies class took a walking tour of many early
Franklinton Civil War buildings conducted by the
Franklinton Historical Society. This was an excellent
opportunity for FPA students to consider how whatcame-before influences what-we-have-become.
FPA is also developing opportunities for students
to participate in job shadowing in multiple career
-cluster areas, followed by investigation of careers
in longer Internship assignments. FPA is actively
working with the Better Business Bureau to include
character and leadership development for all students.
We are also working with Franklinton Board of Trade,
Keep Columbus Beautiful and other businesses and
community organizations to identify 100 places that
will support FPA with our career focus.

ALL STUDENTS LEARNING
Core Curriculum Interventions
All FPA students will learn, but not always in the same
way or at the same time. Together teachers and
students develop Personalized Education Plans (PEP)
for each student that includes personal strengths
and challenges, post-graduation aspirations, and an
individual learning plan designed for success. Small
class sizes in all general education classes offer
opportunities for teachers to focus on student needs
within the core curriculum.
Teachers pay attention to student needs and goals,
and are constantly adjusting teaching patterns in
order to assure student learning. For example,
teachers present information in multiple formats,
students can select projects of interest to them, various
presentation formats are available for student projects,
group work is included frequently, study guides are
provided, and a variety of assessment patterns are
used. Explicit practice and coaching is provided for
high-consequence tests. Ongoing communication and
outreach for parent involvement is also an important
component for all students.
Special Education Supports
Despite these efforts, the classroom teacher alone
cannot accommodate the needs of all of our students.
During 2013-2014, 25% of FPA students received
special education services following a parent - educator
developed Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Federal
and state law strictly governs the structure and
delivery of special education services. Our licensed
Intervention Specialist develops tailored programming
for each identified student. Students are served in an
inclusive academic setting with accommodations and
modifications embedded in the regular classroom,
supported by the IS teacher. Daily one-to-one and/or
small group instruction for pre-teaching, re-teaching,
and extended practice is provided with resource room
supports. Pull-out services are used for testing, review
and whenever necessary.
All schools in Ohio are required to provide appropriate
services to students with disabilities. Sometimes there
are students with disabilities who are not attending school
because they are not aware of available services. Conditions
that may go unidentified are hearing, visual, speech or
language impairments, specific learning disabilities, emotional
disturbances, multiple disabilities, cognitive disabilities,
other health impairments, physical impairments, autism, and
traumatic brain injury.
If you are aware of a high school aged student through 21
years of age who may fit one of these descriptions, and who
is not attending school, please contact Camille Ward, the
Special Education Services Director at Franklinton Preparatory
Academy at 614 - 636 - 1132 for additional information. Once
our school is notified we work with parents to let them know
about programs and services that are available and can be
modified to meet each student’s learning needs. We maintain
confidentiality and we help parents develop an educational
plan at no cost to the parents.
Section 504: School Participation
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides that “No
otherwise qualified individual with disabilities in the United States
shall, solely by reason of his/her disability, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal
assistance.”
“Disabled person” means any person who has a physical or
mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major
life activities, has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as
having such impairment. Major life activities include caring for
one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing,
speaking, breathing, learning, or working. For further information
about Section 504 accommodations please contact Marty Griffith
at Franklinton Preparatory Academy, 614 - 636- 3721.

FIRST YEAR REVIEW
Community School Sponsor Review
Franklinton Preparatory Academy is a “charter”
or community not-for-profit public high school.
It operates under the sponsoring partnership of
St. Aloysius and Charter School Specialists, who
have accountability responsibilities to the Ohio
Department of Education to assure that FPA
students achieve academic success, and that the
school demonstrates financial and operational
stability.
Ongoing assessments of FPA are based on
state test results that review achievement
against standards for all students, and for
various identified groups of students. Student
achievement also considers if students grew at
least one year of learning for every year they were
in school. Other important measures include the
school’s attention to purposeful planning and
action needed to address student learning needs
into the future of the school. Representatives
of our sponsors regularly attend FPA governing
board meetings so that they are aware of financial
and organizational progress.
As required, FPA’s sponsors provide a written
report of its assessment of the school.
Franklinton Preparatory Academy has been rated
Substantially Compliant with the rules and
regulations governing community schools. This is
the highest rating available.
The sponsor creates additional reports about
school performance in many areas other than
overall compliance. These detailed annual
reports will be posted on the website: www.
charterschoolspec.com no later than November
30, 2014. Parents are urged to review this
information for a full understanding of FPAs
performance.
The Ohio Graduation Test was given for the first time to
all sophomores in the spring of 2014. Five tests were
administered: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and
Social Studies. Students must score at the proficient level or
better to pass each test. Any of the tests that have not been
passed can be taken again until they are passed. There are
testing times during the year that OGTs are administered -fall, spring, and summer. Passed sections do not need to be
retaken. At present, it is a graduation requirement in Ohio that
students successfully pass all five OGT components. Ohio also
uses the compiled test results to rate schools.
FPA had 31 students who took a total of 125 tests -- 23
Sophomores took 100 tests, 6 Juniors took 20 tests, and 2
Seniors took 5 tests. These students represent about 1/3 of our
entire student population.
Of the 31 students taking these tests:
• 49.5% received proficient or better and have met this
graduation requirement.
• Ohio’s standard is to have 80% of the students meeting
this standard.
• If all the students scored at the advanced level the
Performance Index score for the school would be 120.
When looking at the distribution of scores for the 31 FPA
students who took these tests, FPA scored 67.6.
• Our score equates to a Local Report Card School
Performance Index grade of D.
Of the 31 students taking these tests:
• 80% passed the Reading Test. It was the only test that met
the state expectation for achievement
• 60% passed Mathematics and Social Studies
• 53.3% passed Writing
• 26.7% passed Science
• Since only one of the five areas reached the standard for
school-wide passage, the school received a grade of F for
Indicators Met.
Other Local Report Card Measures
• 89.7% overall attendance rate.
• 38.7% of the students were Black
• 10.9% of the students were Hispanic or Multi-racial
• 50.4% of the students were White
• 25.1% of the students receive special education services
• 87.1% of the students met poverty standards
Data is not available to report a Value Added Rating, Adequate
Yearly Progress rating or School Improvement Status as this
is the first year of student attendance so that comparison to
previous scores could not be made and/or there were not
enough students in a specific group to be able to report.
The complete report is available on the Ohio Department
of Education web site, under: Local Report Cards – letter C:
Community Schools – Franklinton Preparatory Academy.
FAMILIES
SPACE TO LEARN
FPA is grateful to have support from our families, and
appreciate the help that many parents have provided.
We are grateful to the parents who organized and
ran FPA’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) that
provided twice-weekly sales of baked goods, pizza
and other treats to raise funds for PTO supported
student activities. The proceeds were used to fund
the Halloween, Homecoming, Valentines, and Spring
dances and the school-wide field trip to Zoombezi Bay
at the end of the school year. PTO President Tonya
McCracken extols the benefits of parent participation
in the life of the school. “It is an excellent way to
get to know the teachers and the school programs,
and it is a way to get to know the other parents. It
lets you feel that you are part of the school family.”
Many family members participated in the ribbon
cutting ceremony and raffle in the fall. Parent-teacher
conferences throughout the year offer opportunities to
learn more about program offerings. If you would like
to be part of any aspect of the PTO please contact Ms.
McCracken via email at Tonyaann@hotmail.com
Bringing back to life the 1897 Chicago Ave. Elementary
School, that sat vacant for 30 years, has been a long
four-year process. The renovations kept intact the
classic architectural features of the building exterior,
while updating the interior to support 21st century
learning. FPA calls the second and third floors home.
Ten classrooms, two common areas, an office, and
several smaller learning areas provide modern spaces
for learning and teaching. Our learning space includes
wireless connectivity, a specially outfitted science lab,
along with spaces for arts and dance classes. The
blended-learning technology lab includes 28 Internet
connected computer work stations supporting FPA
students as they become the knowledge workers of the
future.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT
We are committed to assuring that FPA is a physically
and emotionally safe environment for all who are part
of our programs. This includes students, employees,
parents and visitors. Our doors are secured when
students are in attendance. We practice fire and
tornado drills as required monthly. We have
emergency plans that direct how we are to protect
students in various crisis situations. We are a bully free,
drug free, smoke free, and weapons free environment.
Teachers have been trained in blood borne pathogen
safety and in child abuse prevention. We collaborate
with police and fire departments to assure a safe
school. We have a working partnership with Mt.
Carmel to support health and wellness issues, and
with Well Spring Counseling to provide information to
students and staff.
All FPA students participated in Point Break, a
daylong anti-bulling workshop designed to promote
resiliency among students. Resilient students display
social competence, problem-solving skills, personal
responsibility, a sense of purpose, and hope for the
future. Included are discussions regarding bullying,
painful life experiences, and emotional expression.
Students learn to choose conflict resolution over
conflict, and respect for others over disrespect.
Equal Opportunity/ Anti-Discrimination
Franklinton Preparatory Academy assures:
• All learning and working environments will be free
from all forms of discrimination and harassment,
including bullying.
• All students have equal educational opportunities. Any limitations with regard to participation in a
school-sponsored activity are based on criteria
reasonably related to that specific activity.
• Equal opportunities for employment, retention,
and advancement of all personnel.
These protections are in effect regardless of race, color,
national origin, citizenship status, limited English skills,
religion, gender, economic status, age, marital status,
pregnancy, or disability/ handicap.
