Summary:
The Dohn Community High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Dohn Community district of Ohio. With an enrollment of 1,568 students, the school faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 97.51% African American, a 4-year graduation rate of only 42.7%, and an alarmingly high 97.2% chronic absenteeism rate.
Dohn Community High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of all Ohio high schools over the past 3 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are dismal across all subject areas, ranging from 0.8% in Geometry to 13.7% in American History, well below state averages. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 42.3 students per teacher may contribute to the learning challenges faced by students, many of whom come from low-income households and face significant socioeconomic disadvantages.
The data highlights the urgent need for significant interventions and investments to turn around the trajectory of Dohn Community High School and provide its students with the quality education they deserve. Collaboration with community partners, educational experts, and policymakers may be necessary to address the systemic issues underlying the school's performance and implement a multi-faceted strategy targeting areas such as instructional quality, student support services, family engagement, and resource allocation.
