Lower Price Hill Community School

Proudly Serving the Community Since 1971.

The Lower Price Hill neighborhood founded the school in 1971 in response to increasing numbers of students not finishing high school. Leaving high school without a diploma, a key indicator of future poverty, makes the prospect for employment at a wage adequate to support a family in Cincinnati nearly impossible. Lower Price Hill Community School students are changing an impossible situation to one of realistic expectations for a better future.

From stark beginnings in a windowless basement, Cincinnati's LPHCS has become a modern learning center encompassing the entire floor of a former elementary school in the heart of the neighborhood. With no geographic limit, enrollment is open to adults of all ages and out-of -school 16 and 17 year olds. To make school attendance possible for young parent- students, the Community School provides pre- school childcare during college and GED class time.

LPHCS enrolls an average of 250 high school dropouts annually. LPHCS has provided tuition- free education to over 5,000 individuals, and more than 625 LPHCS students have received their GED diplomas. Many graduates go on to complete college degrees. We have introduced students to a college experience through various collaborations including Xavier University and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.
