Metro Early College High School

Summary:

Metro Early College High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 876 students in Columbus, Ohio. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 278 out of 839 districts in the state.

Metro Early College High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently scoring above the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates are particularly impressive in American History (90.6% vs. 68.5% state average) and English II (76.6% vs. 61.4% state average). Additionally, Metro Early College High School's four-year graduation rate is exceptionally high, ranging from 91.3% to 99.3% over the past five years, significantly exceeding the state average. The school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 41.55% African American and 10.39% Asian students, is another notable feature, as the school's performance on state tests is particularly strong for its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups.

Compared to the nearby Fort Hayes Career Center, which is part of the Columbus City Schools District, Metro Early College High School significantly outperforms in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratio. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.1% in 2019-2020 to 21.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance in serving its gifted and talented student population is mixed, suggesting the need for further evaluation and improvement in this area.

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.
