Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School

Summary:

Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School is a public high school in Columbus, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a diverse student population. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fort Hayes has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.5% to 96.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 38.6% in 2019-2020 to 78.7% in 2020-2021. Academically, Fort Hayes students generally perform better than the district average on state assessments, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology, but their performance in Mathematics, specifically Geometry and Algebra I, is significantly lower than the state average.

When analyzing the performance of different student subgroups, Fort Hayes stands out in a few areas. African American and Hispanic students perform better than their peers at the district and state levels, and multi-racial students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools. However, English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students perform poorly compared to their peers across the state. Fort Hayes is located just 0.01 miles away from the Fort Hayes Career Center, which serves a different student population, and the nearby Columbus Downtown High School has a significantly smaller student population and a much lower student-teacher ratio compared to Fort Hayes.

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.
