Franklinton Prep High School

Franklinton Prep High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Franklinton area of Columbus, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 194 students, the school has a diverse student population but is significantly underperforming academically compared to state averages.

Franklinton Prep High School has alarmingly low test scores across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 1.9% in Geometry to 25% in American Government. The school's four-year graduation rate is also very low at 30.6%, well below the state average. Additionally, the school faces an extreme chronic absenteeism crisis, with 99.6% of students missing a significant amount of instructional time.

Despite the challenges, Franklinton Prep High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Ohio high schools and maintains a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 32.3 may contribute to the academic struggles, and the school's diverse student population raises concerns about equity and access to quality education. Addressing the root causes of the school's persistent underperformance should be a top priority for the school and district leadership.
