Coshocton Opportunity School

Summary:

Coshocton Opportunity School is a small public charter high school in Coshocton, Ohio, serving around 40 students in grades 9-12. While the school has a unique educational approach focused on providing opportunities for students, it faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and declining statewide rankings.

The school has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average. Coshocton Opportunity School has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 78.1% in 2019-2020 to 84.4% in 2023-2024, but this rate is still lower than the state average. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 72.5% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, Coshocton Opportunity School's performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state average across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, and Geometry. For example, in 2023-2024, only 7.1% of students were proficient or better in Geometry, compared to the state average of 39.8%. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from a high of 453 out of 756 Ohio high schools in 2006-2007 to a low of 790 out of 864 in 2023-2024. In comparison, the nearby Coshocton County Career Center serves a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that Coshocton Opportunity School may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to the performance gap between the two schools.

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.
