Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, Randall Park High School, located in North Randall, Ohio. This public charter school serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 144 students, all of whom are African American. Unfortunately, the school appears to be struggling across several key metrics, including consistently low rankings, poor academic performance, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates.
Randall Park High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Ohio high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is only 42.9%, which is significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are extremely low, ranging from just 4.5% in Biology to 19.2% in English II for the 2023-2024 school year, well below the state averages.
The data suggests that there are significant and systemic challenges at Randall Park High School, which may be related to issues of educational equity and access. The high poverty level, as indicated by the likely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's predominantly African American student population, suggest that targeted interventions and additional support are needed to improve student outcomes and address the underlying issues facing this school.
