Summary
Virtual High School is a Cincinnati Public Schools high school serving grades 9–12 at 425 Ezzard Charles Dr in Cincinnati, Ohio, enrolling 366 students. In 2025–26 it ranked 772 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 3rd percentile — and earned 0 stars, placing it well below its own district, Cincinnati Public Schools, which ranked 609 of 773 (21st percentile, 1 star).
That gap shows up across nearly every measure. The graduation rate is 44.2%, compared with 80.6% districtwide, and chronic absenteeism is 97.2% — nearly every student — versus 44.6% for the district. Average end-of-course proficiency across six tested subjects is about 15.5%, against about 51.5% for the district and about 63.2% statewide. The school has stayed in roughly the bottom 1st–11th percentile statewide from 2015–16 through 2025–26, so this is a long-term pattern rather than a one-year dip. Nearby Cincinnati Public Schools high schools range from Walnut Hills High School, ranked 1/795 with 5 stars and a 99.0% graduation rate, down to schools in the 7th–16th percentile. Those nearby schools report graduation rates of 72.3%–99.0% and chronic absenteeism of 14.5%–79.9% — all higher on graduation and all lower on absenteeism than Virtual. Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School, about 0.06 miles away, ranks 712/795 with an 84.1% graduation rate and 79.9% chronic absenteeism, though Virtual's Geometry proficiency (18.2%) is higher than Taft's 12.4%.
Two other figures stand out. The reported student-teacher ratio is 91.5 in 2024–25, far above the 8.2–19.4 range at nearby schools. Per-student spending was $10,514 in 2018–19, higher than most nearby CPS high schools, though that data is several years old. Subgroup rankings for female, male, and low-income students are at or near the bottom statewide. Some math scores improved in 2025–26, but overall proficiency remains very low, and absenteeism has worsened each year since 2022–23.
