Summary:
The South Central Local district in Ohio has only one middle school, South Central Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates on state tests fluctuating compared to state and district averages. While the school's student population is predominantly White, it does have some racial diversity, with small percentages of Hispanic and Asian students.
South Central Junior High School's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 433 out of 1,017 Ohio middle schools in 2021-2022 to 564 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's SchoolDigger rating, which has dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.3% is also a potential area of concern that warrants further investigation.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, and a significant percentage of its students (38.1%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Understanding how the school supports its diverse student population and addresses the needs of its economically disadvantaged students could provide valuable insights into its overall educational approach and strategies for improvement.
