Gem City Career Prep High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's four-year graduation rate was only 34.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, and its chronic absenteeism rate was an alarming 99.9%. Proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests were significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas, with some subjects as low as 12.5% (Geometry) and 14.5% (English II).
