Columbia Local

The Columbia Local school district in Ohio is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The data reveals a district with several standout academic performers, including Copopa Elementary School and Columbia High School, which consistently outperform state averages in math and English Language Arts proficiency. While the schools have a predominantly white student population, the district may want to explore ways to increase diversity and inclusion.

Copopa Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with 77.4% and 91.5% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in math, and 72.6% and 69.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools. In contrast, Columbia High School impresses with a 97.7% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and a ranking in the top 15% of Ohio high schools.

While the schools in the Columbia Local district generally perform well academically, the data also reveals some areas for potential improvement. Chronic absenteeism rates range from 13.6% at Copopa Elementary to 22.2% at Columbia High School, indicating a need to address attendance issues. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending across the schools suggests the district may want to examine its resource allocation to ensure equitable funding and support for all students.
