Mt Healthy City

The Mt Healthy City school district in Ohio consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes, with consistently low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates across the schools.

The Mt. Healthy Virtual Academy stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.4%, higher than the 86.9% rate at the traditional Mt Healthy High School. However, the virtual school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 68.2%, much higher than the district average. In contrast, Mt. Healthy North Elementary has some of the lowest test scores in the district, with proficiency rates well below state averages, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.1%.

Across the district, racial demographics show a majority African American student population, ranging from 58.5% to 74.7%. Proficiency rates on state tests are very low, well below state averages, particularly in math and English language arts. Addressing the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, identifying and replicating successful practices, and ensuring equitable resource allocation will be critical for the Mt Healthy City school district to improve academic outcomes for its students.
