Summary
Transitions Academy is a small public school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 7 through 12 with just 79 students, and it is part of the Northwest Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 783 of 795 Ohio high schools, the 2nd percentile, with 0 stars, while its district ranked 557 of 773, the 28th percentile with 1 star.
Test results are the school's biggest concern. End-of-course proficiency rates were American Government 13.3%, American History 22.7%, Biology 10%, English II 10%, and Geometry 9.5% — far below Ohio's state averages and below every nearby school with comparable data, including Mt Healthy High School, North College Hill High School, and Aiken New Technical High School. The graduation rate was 78.6%, compared with 96.0% for the district, and with Northwest High School at 95.6%, Colerain High School at 97.3%, and Oak Hills High School at 95.9%. Algebra I results are not listed for this school, so the math picture is incomplete.
Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism was just 1.5% in 2025–2026, compared with 27.1% district-wide, 28.9% at Oak Hills, 38.3% at Colerain, and 73.8% at Aiken. The school also improved sharply on this measure over time, from 53.2% in 2021–2022. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.8, lower than Northwest (22.7) and Colerain (22.4). Keep in mind that with only 79 students, percentages can swing widely from year to year, and the school's effectiveness rankings for several student groups remain in the bottom decile statewide.
