Summary:
The 45203 zip code area is home to a single high school, Virtual High School, which serves grades 9-12. This public school has a predominantly African American student population and has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with concerning academic outcomes, low graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
Cincinnati Public Schools district, which oversees Virtual High School, faces significant challenges in supporting this underperforming institution. With a 4-year graduation rate of just 34.9% and proficiency rates on state tests ranging from 3.4% to 24.6%, the school is clearly struggling to provide its students with a quality education. The high student-teacher ratio of 50:1 may contribute to these academic struggles.
While spending per student at Virtual High School is in line with the district average, the school's persistent low performance suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to drive student achievement. Addressing the systemic challenges at Virtual High School, from poor attendance to equity concerns, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for the school's predominantly African American student population.
