Summary

Cliff Park High School is a public charter high school located in Springfield, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Cliff Park High School District, which is ranked 814 out of 828 districts in Ohio and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Cliff Park High School is a struggling school that is significantly underperforming compared to its peers and the state average across multiple key metrics. The school has consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 28.3% to 40.9% over the past few years, which is much lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 97.0% to 99.5% in recent years, which is also much higher than the state average. Cliff Park High School students perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I.

Interestingly, Cliff Park High School's performance is significantly lower than the nearby Northeastern Middle/High School, Greenon High School, Shawnee Middle School/High School, and Global Impact STEM Academy, which all have higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores across various subject areas. The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted, with socioeconomic factors, high student-teacher ratios, and other systemic issues likely contributing to the poor outcomes.
