High Schools in Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy

Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy is the sole high school located in the Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy district, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Ohio high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement.

Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy has a predominantly African American student population (78.57%) and a high poverty level, which likely contributes to the school's equity and opportunity gaps. The school's four-year graduation rate is only 13.8%, which is significantly lower than the state average, and its students perform well below the state averages on Ohio State Tests, with only 38.5% proficient or better in American Government and 7.7% in Geometry. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.4%, more than double the state average.

These findings suggest that Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy is in need of targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the low achievement, such as improving instructional quality, providing additional academic and social-emotional support, and addressing barriers to attendance and engagement. Addressing these challenges will be crucial to improving outcomes for the school's students and ensuring they have access to the education and opportunities they deserve.
