Summary
Graham School The is a public charter high school located in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 145 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools over the past 10 years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance across various student subgroups, including female, male, African American, White, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, is also consistently in the bottom 20-30% of Ohio high schools. This is particularly concerning, as the school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, dropping from 85.2% in 2022-2023 to 72.5% in 2024-2025, significantly lower than the graduation rates of nearby public high schools like Northland High School (83.3%), Whetstone High School (83.3%), and Columbus Alternative High School (83.3%).
Adding to the school's challenges, Graham School The has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 64.3% in 2024-2025, much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Northland High School and Whetstone High School, both of which had chronic absenteeism rates around 52.6% in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, particularly in mathematics, where only 12% of students were proficient in Geometry and 5% in Algebra I, compared to the state averages of 42.8% and 59.4%, respectively.
