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.

Open Quote School building kept falling apart. Teachers did not want to teach, let alone actually WORK with students to help them when they had a problem. When you would ask for help, they would ignore you. When your parents went to the school to request help from them, they would blatantly lie to their faces and then continue to ignore you. If you didn't learn as well as the rest of the students in that school, oh well. Too bad for you. It was your problem. There was no help for students who had any learning setbacks at all. Various teachers would also make fun of students for poor grades, even though they would deny them help when they asked for it. Close Quote

Open Quote This is one of the newest High Schools in the Southwestern City School district. It draws its attendance from a combination of the western side of the city of Grove City and from areas, primarily outside of the I-270 beltway, of west Columbus. While some schools in the school district struggle to meet state proficiency standards, Central Crossing High School and the middle schools that feed into it score pretty well. I don't hesitate to send my son to Central Crossing. I feel he's getting an excellent education for my "considerable" tax dollars. Close Quote

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.
