Summary

Lighthouse School is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 55 students. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which is ranked 596 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lighthouse School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, ranking 855 out of 855 Ohio high schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 0-star rating.

Lighthouse School faces significant challenges, including low four-year graduation rates ranging from 20% to 86.1% over the past three school years, much lower than the state and district averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.5% to 73.4% over the same period, which is much higher than the averages. Additionally, Lighthouse School's performance on Ohio State Tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with many subjects having 0% proficiency rates.

Compared to nearby schools in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, such as Withrow University High School and Clark Montessori High School, Lighthouse School's performance is significantly lower. These nearby schools, while still below state averages in many areas, have much higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores. The small size of Lighthouse School, with only 55 students, may also contribute to the challenges it faces in providing a comprehensive educational program.
