Summary:
Charles School at Ohio Dominican University is the only public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the data set, with a total enrollment of 301 students. While this school stands alone in the data, the insights gleaned from its performance metrics paint a concerning picture of the academic challenges it faces.
The school's four-year graduation rate of 50.0% is significantly lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 52.5% is alarmingly high. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are consistently below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with the Algebra I proficiency rate at just 25.6% compared to the state's 59.4%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (80.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which could be an advantage, the data suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, student engagement, and economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors. While the data does not provide a comparative analysis to other schools, the insights highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Charles School at Ohio Dominican University.
