Zanesville Community High School

Zanesville Community High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Zanesville, Ohio area, with a total enrollment of 137 students. The school's diverse student population includes 72.99% White, 10.95% African American, 2.92% Hispanic, and 11.68% two or more races. However, Zanesville Community High School is facing significant academic challenges, with its state test scores well below the state average and its statewide ranking dropping from 542 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 854 out of 864 in 2023-2024.

Despite maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2%, which can have a substantial impact on student learning and achievement. The high chronic absenteeism rate suggests that Zanesville Community High School likely serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, though the specific percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is not provided in the data.

While the school's diverse student population could be a strength if the school is able to provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment, the data indicates that Zanesville Community High School is facing significant challenges in delivering a high-quality education to its students. The school's declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that targeted interventions and strategies may be necessary to improve student outcomes and support the success of this community's young learners.
