Better than 6% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Columbus International High School is a grades 9–12 school serving 540 students in the urban Columbus City Schools District. It currently ranks 750 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 6th percentile with 0 stars for 2025–2026, down from the 28th percentile in 2015–2016. That decade-long slide is the most striking signal in the data.

Test scores are the biggest concern. Across six state-tested subjects, roughly 29% of students scored proficient, compared with about 34% in the district and 63% statewide. Results range from 44.2% in American Government to just 4.0% in Geometry, though Algebra I has climbed from 5.3% in 2022–2023 to 26.5%, slightly above the district. Among nearby schools, Columbus Alternative High School, Whetstone High School, Beechcroft High School and Northland High School score higher in most subjects, while Mifflin High School and Linden-McKinley STEM Academy are the closest low-performing peers. Graduation is a bright spot at 87.3%, above the district's 81.5% and higher than those same peers except Columbus Alternative High School, though below Thomas Worthington High School (94.7%). Chronic absenteeism, however, is 72.4% versus 53.8% for the district.

Results also vary widely across student groups. English language learners rank in the 10th percentile, down from the 38th two years ago — a notable decline for an international school — while students with disabilities rank in the 20th percentile and low-income students in the 6th. The school spent $13,528 per student in 2018–2019, the most among its same-district peers, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is lower than most of them, yet proficiency stays low. The clearest priorities are Geometry and math, chronic absenteeism, and support for English language learners.
