Columbus High (56th percentile, 3 stars) posts the strongest completion numbers — a 97.8% graduation rate versus 92.0% state and a 0.2% dropout rate — but its ACT math fell to 33.33% versus 42.93% state after a strong prior year, and at 14.9% it has the highest chronic absenteeism in the group, still below the state's 17.3%.

Discovery Charter School, unranked with just 71 students, shows how small schools swing: grade 3 ELA and math went from 70.59% and 82.35% to 44.44% and 55.56% year over year. Nationally comparable attendance is the district's shared strength — all four schools sit below the state rate — while academics vary widely from building to building.
