North College Hill High School has seen a steady increase in its four-year graduation rate, from 75.7% in 2019-2020 to 90.6% in 2023-2024. However, the school still lags behind the state average and some nearby schools, such as Wyoming High School, which is just 4.4 miles away and has much higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. North College Hill High School also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 58.1% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Academically, North College Hill High School consistently underperforms the state and district averages on Ohio state tests across all subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. The school's proficiency rates are often less than half the state average. This is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Despite the school's efforts, North College Hill High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with little to no improvement in its performance metrics.

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.
