Mason Run High School

Summary:

Mason Run High School is a public charter high school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 156 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mason Run High School faces significant challenges, including extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 31.3% to 49.5% over the past several years, which is much lower than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Eastmoor Academy (93.7%) and Bexley High School (96.5%). The school also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 100% in the 2020-2021 school year, far exceeding the rates of nearby schools like Whitehall Yearling High School (51.7%) and Eastmoor Academy (65.7%). Academically, Mason Run High School students have consistently performed poorly on Ohio state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in subjects like English II, Geometry, and Algebra I.

When comparing Mason Run High School to other nearby schools, the differences in performance are stark. For example, Whitehall Yearling High School, which is only about 1.66 miles away, has significantly higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and much stronger academic performance on state assessments. The factors contributing to Mason Run High School's struggles may include the high poverty rate in the surrounding community, limited resources and funding, and challenges in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers.

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.
