Summary:
Hardin Community School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 8-12 in Kenton, Ohio, with a total enrollment of just 30 students. This extremely small school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a poor overall ranking compared to other Ohio high schools.
Academically, Hardin Community School struggles, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in American Government and Geometry. Only 27.3% of students are proficient or better in American Government, compared to 69.1% statewide, and 0% are proficient or better in Geometry, compared to 39.8% across Ohio. The school's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 792 out of 864 Ohio high schools further indicate its poor overall performance.
Despite a 100% 4-year graduation rate, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% suggests underlying issues with student engagement and support. Additionally, with 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Hardin Community School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, raising concerns about equity and the availability of resources to meet the needs of its students.
