Summary:
The city of Kenton, Ohio is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public charter school). The schools in this area serve students from diverse backgrounds, though the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 90-92% across the different schools.
Academically, the schools in Kenton face some challenges, with most performing below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and Geometry. However, Hardin Community School, the public charter high school, stands out with a 100% 4-year graduation rate, despite its low test scores. Meanwhile, Kenton Elementary School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6%, which is an area of concern for the district.
The schools in Kenton also show disparities in terms of per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, with Kenton High School spending the most per student at $10,793 per year, and Kenton Middle School having the highest student-teacher ratio at 24.2. The Kenton City and Hardin Community School districts should work to address these inequities and ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
