Summary:
Martins Ferry City, Ohio is home to a single high school, Martins Ferry High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in certain subject areas, and serves a student population with high levels of economic disadvantage, with 98.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Martins Ferry High School's performance on Ohio state tests varies significantly across different subject areas. While the school performs above the state average in American Government, it lags behind the state average in subjects like Geometry and Biology. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.6%, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance and an area of focus for improvement.
Despite the challenges, Martins Ferry City schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with Martins Ferry High School receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. Addressing chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes across all subjects could be key focus areas for the school and district to better serve the needs of their students.
