Summary

Briggs High School is a public high school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 976 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Briggs High School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.7% in Geometry to 49.7% in American History, while state averages ranged from 42.8% to 72.6%. The school also struggles with a low 4-year graduation rate of 83.3%, compared to the state average of over 90%, and an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 76.1%. These challenges are not unique to Briggs High School, as nearby schools like West High School and Franklin Heights High School, which are also part of the Columbus City Schools District, demonstrate similar academic underperformance, low graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

The data also reveals that some nearby charter high schools, such as Franklinton Prep High School and Flex High School, are also struggling with low academic performance, graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the challenges faced by Briggs High School are not limited to traditional public schools, but are a broader issue within the Columbus education landscape.
