Summary:
The city of The Plains, Ohio is home to two schools: Athens High School, serving grades 9-12, and The Plains Intermediate School, serving grades 4-6. While both schools have strong academic performance, Athens High School stands out as the clear top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools over the past 3 years.
Athens High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.6%, outperforming state averages on a variety of end-of-course exams. However, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 32.6%, which is significantly above the state average. In contrast, The Plains Intermediate School has solid test scores, especially in 4th and 5th grade math and ELA, but lacks the detailed performance history and rankings available for the high school.
Both schools serve a majority white student population, with Athens High School at 83.8% and The Plains Intermediate School at 84.9% white students. The Athens City school district appears to allocate resources relatively evenly, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the two schools. Overall, the data suggests a school district with a strong high school, but potential room for improvement in areas like chronic absenteeism and racial diversity.
