Columbus Scioto 6-12

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Columbus Scioto 6-12 is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Columbus City Schools District. With only 89 students, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, receiving 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.

The school's metrics paint a concerning picture, with extremely low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 50% to 88.6%, and low graduation rates between 50% and 90% in recent years. In 6th grade math, for example, the school had 0% proficiency compared to 22.6% for the district and 51.9% statewide. This stark disparity in outcomes suggests the school is struggling to provide a quality education for its students.

While the reasons for the school's persistent underperformance are complex, the small student population and high percentage of disadvantaged students may contribute to resource challenges. Nearby high schools like Capital High School and Columbus Downtown High School appear to have better outcomes, underscoring the need for comprehensive intervention to address the root causes and improve student success at Columbus Scioto 6-12.
