Summary:
The Finneytown Local school district in Ohio serves students from elementary through secondary grades, with two schools in the district: Finneytown Elementary and Finneytown Secondary Campus. The district faces a range of challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may impact student success.
Finneytown Elementary has a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of African American, Asian, and multiracial students. However, the school struggles with test scores that are generally below state averages, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7%. In contrast, Finneytown Secondary Campus has an even higher percentage of African American students at 52.12%, and an even more concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 39.7%. Despite these challenges, Finneytown Secondary Campus maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.2%.
Across both schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, at 61.32% for Finneytown Elementary and 63.25% for Finneytown Secondary Campus, suggest that the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This may contribute to the lower academic performance observed. While the district's diversity presents both challenges and opportunities, targeted interventions and a closer examination of curriculum, instructional practices, and attendance issues could help to improve student outcomes in the Finneytown Local school district.
