FOCUS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL

Focus North High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Focus North High School school district, located in Columbus, OH with about 195 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, Focus North High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Focus North High School, located on Evanswood Drive in Columbus, Ohio, is a specialized educational institution operating under the umbrella of Focus Learning Academy. The school is designed to serve students who may benefit from an alternative educational environment, focusing on credit recovery, flexible scheduling, and a personalized approach to academics. By catering to students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, the institution aims to remove barriers to graduation and help students get back on track to earn their diplomas.

The school emphasizes a supportive, small-group atmosphere where faculty work closely with students to address both their academic and social-emotional needs. Through its commitment to a mastery-based or project-oriented curriculum, Focus North strives to provide a pathway for students to overcome past challenges and build the necessary skills for post-secondary success. Whether serving students who are behind on credits or those who simply thrive better in a non-traditional setting, the school focuses on individual student growth as the primary metric of success.
