Summary

Flex High School is a public charter high school located in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school is part of the Flex High School District, which is ranked 715 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flex High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 5 years. The school's 4-year graduation rates have been extremely low, ranging from 21.1% to 34.6%, significantly lower than the state average and nearby schools like Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School. Flex High School also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, more than double the state average, and its students perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

In comparison, the nearby schools generally outperform Flex High School across various metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. For instance, Fort Hayes Career Center and Columbus Downtown High School have much lower student-teacher ratios, suggesting that smaller class sizes may be a contributing factor to their relatively better performance. The spending per student at Flex High School is not provided, but the nearby Columbus City Schools District has a relatively low per-student spending, which could indicate potential funding challenges impacting the school's performance.
