FORT HAYES CAREER CENTER

Fort Hayes Career Center is a Title I public high school that is part of the Columbus City Schools District school district, located in Columbus, OH with about 92 students offering grade levels from 10th 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 30 teachers, Fort Hayes Career Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

The center is designed to bridge the gap between secondary education and the workforce, offering programs ranging from culinary arts and cosmetology to engineering, digital media, and health sciences.
