Summary:
The city of Rawson, Ohio is home to two schools: Cory-Rawson High School and Cory-Rawson Elementary School, both part of the Cory-Rawson Local district. While the high school boasts a strong 97.5% four-year graduation rate, it has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 301 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 598 out of 864 in 2023-2024. In contrast, the elementary school outperforms the state average on 3rd grade math and English language arts assessments, though it struggles in 5th grade science and math.
Enrollment at both schools is relatively small, with 249 students at the high school and 241 at the elementary school. Both have a predominantly white student population, with 89.96% and 91.7% white students, respectively. Academically, the high school performs below the state average on several end-of-course exams, while the elementary school's performance is more uneven, with strengths in some areas and weaknesses in others. The high school also faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8%, compared to the elementary school's 10.2%.
In terms of resources, the high school spends $13,995 per student, while the elementary school spends $11,682 per student. The high school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.3, compared to the elementary school's 10.5. These differences in spending and staffing may contribute to the schools' varying academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that while both schools have some positive attributes, they face significant challenges in maintaining academic performance and addressing the needs of their student populations.
