Summary:

The 52738 zip code is home to a single high school, Columbus Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.

Columbus Community High School's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly lower than the state average, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state's. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, though the 11th grade ELA proficiency rate is higher. The school's per-student spending of $18,475 is above the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes.

The school's economic demographics are also noteworthy, with 57.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Overall, while Columbus Community High School has some positive attributes, such as its small class sizes, the data suggests there are opportunities for improvement in areas like attendance, test scores, and supporting economically disadvantaged students.
