Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy

Summary:

Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy is a small public charter high school in Dayton, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a predominantly African American student population of 84 students. However, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and underperformance on state assessments compared to the state average.

Over the past several years, Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy has struggled with extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from a high of 27.7% in 2019-2020 to a low of 9.1% in 2022-2023, well below the state average. The school has also faced a major issue with chronic absenteeism, with rates as high as 84.8% in the current school year. On state assessments, the school's proficiency rates were only 38.5% in American Government, 7.7% in Geometry, and 5.3% in Algebra I, all significantly below the state averages.

Interestingly, the challenges faced by Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy are not unique to the school. A nearby public high school, Dayton Digital Academy, also struggles with low performance, ranking in the bottom 5% of Ohio high schools and having a four-year graduation rate of only 9.1% in 2019-2020. This suggests that the educational challenges in the Dayton City area may be more systemic in nature.

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.
