Findlay Digital Academy

Summary:

Findlay Digital Academy is a public charter virtual high school located in Findlay, Ohio, serving students in grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 153 students. Despite its virtual nature, the school has faced significant challenges, including consistently low statewide rankings, declining graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and underperformance on state assessments.

Findlay Digital Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools, with its highest ranking being 543 out of 791 schools in the 2008-2009 school year. In the most recent 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 682 out of 864 Ohio high schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rates have also declined, dropping from 88.9% in the 2023-2024 school year to 61.2% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, Findlay Digital Academy has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 56.4% in the 2020-2021 school year, more than double the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby McComb Local School Panther Academy, located approximately 7.8 miles from Findlay Digital Academy, serves a much smaller student population of only 7 students. However, this school has a higher district ranking (268 out of 839) and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the local community may have access to higher-performing educational options. The lack of diversity at Findlay Digital Academy, with a predominantly White student population, may also limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience for its students.

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.
