Dohn Community has consistently struggled academically, ranking between 797th and 858th out of 864 high schools in Ohio over the past several years and maintaining a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 28.3% to 44.9%, significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. Additionally, Dohn Community has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 94.9% to 97.2% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and nearby school averages. Academically, Dohn Community students perform significantly below state averages on Ohio state tests across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 0.8% to 13.7%.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Withrow University High School, St. Bernard-Elmwood Place Junior/Senior High School, and Walnut Hills High School have higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and significantly better academic performance on state tests. This suggests that Dohn Community is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community.

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.
