Queen City Career Prep High School

Summary:

Queen City Career Prep High School is a small public charter high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a predominantly African American student population of 78 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

The school is struggling significantly, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio. Only 7.7% of students were proficient in English II, compared to the state average of 60.8%, and the school's four-year graduation rate is just 36.6%, far below the state average and nearby schools like Clark Montessori High School (95.1%) and Withrow University High School (68.4%). Additionally, Queen City Career Prep High School has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 100%, meaning all students were chronically absent.

The stark contrast between Queen City Career Prep High School and nearby high-performing schools, such as Walnut Hills High School, which ranks 1st out of 867 Ohio high schools, highlights the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to these disparities, including the role of socioeconomic status and racial demographics. Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial in ensuring that all students in the Cincinnati Public Schools district have the opportunity to succeed academically.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
