Summary:
The city of Rittman, Ohio is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one charter), and 0 alternative schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the traditional public schools, Rittman High School and Rittman Elementary School, which consistently outperform the public charter school, Rittman Academy, across a range of metrics including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Rittman High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts high test scores, a 97.1% 4-year graduation rate, and relatively low chronic absenteeism at 14.6%. Rittman Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools with strong test scores and a chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% that is lower than the district and state averages.
In contrast, Rittman Academy, the public charter high school, stands out as an underperformer, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio high schools, with a very low 4-year graduation rate of 52.6% and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 66.1%. The school's test scores are also significantly below state averages across all subjects. This stark contrast in performance raises questions about equity and access to quality education for underrepresented groups in the Rittman Exempted Village and Rittman Academy districts.
