High Schools in Newark City

Newark City, Ohio is home to a single high school, Newark High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state averages in most subject areas, though it maintains a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 86.0%. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.8% and a declining ranking, currently at 494 out of 864 Ohio high schools.

Academically, Newark High School performs better than the Newark City district average in subjects like American Government and American History, but lags behind the state averages in areas like Algebra I, Geometry, and English II. The school's per-student spending of $9,090 and student-teacher ratio of 20:1 are within typical ranges, but it's unclear if these resources are being utilized effectively to support student learning.

Despite the academic challenges, Newark High School maintains a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 86.0%, which is a positive indicator.
