High Schools in Central High School

Central High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Columbus, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 118 students, the school has a diverse student population but is consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state of Ohio.

Central High School faces significant challenges, including extremely low graduation rates of just 10.8%, very high chronic absenteeism at 88.1%, and student performance that falls well below the state average on Ohio State Tests across all subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has consistently placed it in the bottom 10% of Ohio high schools, suggesting a need for substantial interventions and support to improve outcomes for its students.

Other notable metrics include a high student-teacher ratio of 39.3, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles, and a diverse racial makeup with 58.47% African American, 29.66% White, 6.78% Hispanic, and 5.08% two or more races. However, the data does not provide information on the school's socioeconomic status or how the diversity is reflected in the school's staffing and leadership, making it difficult to fully assess the factors impacting Central High School's performance.
