Summary

Dr. O?dell Owens Center for Learning is an alternative K–12 school in Cincinnati Public Schools, located at 2825 Alms Pl in Cincinnati, with a reported enrollment of 0—an unusual figure given that the state also reports test, graduation, and absenteeism records for it. That zero enrollment, plus a reported student-teacher ratio of 0 for 2024–25, means many of the numbers below should be treated cautiously and confirmed directly with the school or district.

Graduation and test results are the most striking concerns. The school's graduation rate was 47.4% in 2025–26, compared with the district's 80.6%; in 2024–25 it was just 20.0% against 86.1%. Among nearby schools reporting a 2025–26 rate, that 47.4% is the lowest—Western Hills University High School was 67.5%, John J. Gilligan Digital Academy 68.8%, Mount Auburn Preparatory Academy 81.5%, Summit Academy School - Cincinnati 90.0%, Oyler School 91.4%, and Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students, School For Creative and Performing Arts, and Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy all 100.0%. Test proficiency is exceptionally low: 9 of 15 assessments were at 0% in 2025–26, and no reported score reached 20%—the highest was 15% in 7th-grade ELA. Every score fell below both district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism was 73.0% in 2025–26, an improvement from 97.9% and 98.4% in 2022–23 and 2021–22, but still well above the district's roughly 43–46%. Context data are thin: there is no free/reduced-lunch percentage and no per-student spending figure for this school, while nearby spending ranges from $6,271 to $12,342. The takeaway for families: attendance and graduation are moving in a positive direction, but academics and attendance remain far below district norms, and the reported zero enrollment makes verification essential.
