Franklinton High School

Franklinton High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Franklinton High School District in Columbus, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 117 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 795 out of 855 high schools in the 2024-2025 school year and 718 out of 864 high schools in the previous two years. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger further underscores its struggles to provide a quality education to its students.

Franklinton High School's performance is marked by several concerning metrics. Its 4-year graduation rate of 77.8% in 2024-2025 falls below the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 60.8% is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are consistently lower than the state averages across all subject areas, including American Government, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. These academic challenges suggest that the school may be serving a high-need population, though the data does not provide the free/reduced lunch rate.

Despite its small student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is slightly lower than the state average, Franklinton High School appears to be struggling to provide its students with the support and resources they need to succeed. The school's consistently low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and significant gaps in test scores indicate that it may require targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
