Five Rivers Career Prep High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy is a small public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Dayton, Ohio. With just 92 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Ohio high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance is concerning across several key metrics. Its four-year graduation rates are extremely low, ranging from just 9.1% to 37.5% in recent years, well below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also alarmingly high, reaching as much as 85.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. Academically, Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy students perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below state averages in all subject areas and grade levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio high schools for both female and male students, and in the bottom 20% for African American students and low socioeconomic status students.

In comparison, nearby public high schools such as Liberty High School, Dayton Career Technical High School, and David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center, while still struggling, generally have higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic performance. The school's consistently poor performance, particularly for its most vulnerable student subgroups, highlights the need for immediate and comprehensive interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.
