Columbus Scioto 6-12

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Columbus Scioto 6-12 is a small public school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 92 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of Columbus City Schools District — an unusual grade span for a school classified as a high school, since most nearby high schools serve grades 9–12. The district is ranked 683rd of 773 in Ohio (12th percentile, 1 star), placing it in the state's bottom tier.

The school's outcome data point to real challenges. Its latest graduation rate is 66.7%, below the district's 81.5% and below nearby Briggs High School (72.5%), South High School (80.1%), and Marion-Franklin High School (75.5%), though above alternative and charter schools such as Capital High School (12.9%) and Early College Academy (43.8%). Chronic absenteeism is the most persistent red flag: 80.1% in 2025–26, following roughly 87% to 92% in earlier years. That is similar to nearby Columbus City comprehensive high schools (Briggs 78.0%, South 79.1%, Marion-Franklin 81.9%) but far above Hamilton Township High School's 43.5%. Available test scores are mostly very low, including 0% proficient in 7th-grade math, 0% in 6th-grade ELA, and 6.7% in 7th-grade ELA in 2025–26, versus much higher district and state rates.

The school's student-teacher ratio is unusually low at 4.6, compared with Briggs (18.7), South (15.0), Marion-Franklin (14.8), and Hamilton Township (20.7) — yet small classes have not translated into stronger results, pointing to attendance, engagement, or instructional challenges. Graduation rates also swing sharply (50.0% in 2022–23, 90.0% in 2024–25, 66.7% in 2025–26), which is expected when a graduating class is small enough that a few students change the percentage. Some data are limited: free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported, the only spending figure is $9,338 per student from 2018–19, and test-score years differ across schools, so comparisons are not exact. With 92 students, rates such as 0% or 6.7% are based on very few students and should be read with caution.
