Summary:
The Graham School The, a public charter high school located in Columbus, Ohio, is the sole school in the Graham School The district. The school's performance, as measured by various metrics, suggests it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
The Graham School is ranked 701 out of 855 Ohio high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 72.5% is lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 64.3% is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores across all subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I, were consistently lower than the state averages.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.8 to 1, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's high spending per student, at $21,235 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources or staffing, but rather the effectiveness of the school's educational practices and support systems. The high percentage of students (66.21%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's poor performance.
