Summary

Buckeye Community School is a public charter high school located in Ontario, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 479 students. The school is part of the Buckeye Community School District, which is ranked 795 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Buckeye Community School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 4 years. The school's performance on state tests is significantly below the state average across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 2.3% in Geometry to 33.3% in American History. The school also has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 89.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is over 3 times the state average. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate has been below 32% for the past 4 years, which is less than half the state average.

Despite being located just 0.7 miles from Cypress High School, another public charter school, Buckeye Community School's performance lags far behind. The school's challenges also appear to be systemic, as it ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio high schools for all major student subgroups, including females, males, African American students, white students, multi-racial students, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students. These issues suggest the need for a comprehensive review and intervention to address the root causes and improve outcomes for the school's students.
