While the school has a low chronic absenteeism rate, it is struggling academically, with significantly lower test scores compared to the state and nearby schools like Walnut Hills High School.

The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 717 out of 864 Ohio high schools further highlight the academic challenges it faces.

While ChallengeU Ohio Community School's low chronic absenteeism rate is a positive, the lack of data on the school's racial makeup, free/reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratio makes it difficult to fully understand the school's context and challenges. The stark contrast in performance between ChallengeU Ohio Community School and the higher-performing nearby schools suggests that there may be significant room for improvement in the school's educational practices and resources.

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.
