Summary:
The 45214 zip code in Ohio is home to a single high school, Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school has consistently struggled to perform at a high level, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School faces significant challenges, including a predominantly African American student population (90.83%), a low 4-year graduation rate of 80%, and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 73.3%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are well below state and Cincinnati Public Schools district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 5.8% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Math compared to 46.4% at the state level and 19.2% in the district.
While the school's spending per student of $9,419 is slightly lower than the district average, it is unclear if this is a significant factor in the school's persistent underperformance. Addressing the school's challenges, particularly the equity gaps and high chronic absenteeism, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to target the root causes of the school's struggles and support student success.
