Virtual High School

Summary:

Virtual High School is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 250 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which is ranked 597 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, Virtual High School performs significantly worse than many of its peers. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools, with a ranking between 726 and 841 out of 819 to 867 schools over the past several years. Virtual High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 34.9% to 55.7%, much lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 49% to 88.6% over the past few years, far exceeding the typical levels. Academically, Virtual High School students perform significantly below state and district averages on Ohio state tests across all subject areas.

When compared to other high schools in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, Virtual High School lags behind. For example, Walnut Hills High School, which is also in the district, ranks 1st in the state and has much higher academic performance and graduation rates. The combination of Virtual High School's poor performance metrics suggests the school may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.

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.
