Colerain High School

Summary:

Colerain High School is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 1,747 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Northwest Local School District, which is ranked 541 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colerain High School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 46.31% White, 33.89% African American, 5.55% Hispanic, 3.95% Asian, and 10.07% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were below the state and district averages in subjects like Geometry, Algebra I, and Biology. Despite this, Colerain High School has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.5% in 2019-2020 to 94.2% in 2020-2021, which are generally higher than the state and district averages. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.1% in 2019-2020 to 57.4% in 2020-2021, which is a concerning trend that may impact student learning and academic outcomes.

When compared to the nearby Diamond Oaks Cdc, which is part of the Great Oaks Career Campuses district, Colerain High School has a significantly different student population and performance profile. Diamond Oaks Cdc has a higher percentage of White students, lower free and reduced-price lunch rates, and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its potentially better academic outcomes. This comparison highlights the challenges Colerain High School faces in addressing achievement gaps among different student subgroups and the chronic absenteeism issue, which should be priorities for the school and district.

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.
