Summary:
The Meigs Local school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Meigs Primary School and Meigs Intermediate School), 1 middle school (Meigs Middle School), and 1 high school (Meigs High School). The district faces significant challenges, with all schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests and high rates of chronic absenteeism across the board.
Meigs High School stands out as the largest school in the district with 592 students, but it has the lowest 4-year graduation rate at 82.9% and the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 53.5%. Meigs Middle School is also relatively large with 346 students and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 680 out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools.
Across the district, the student population is overwhelmingly white, ranging from 94.22% to 95.44% white students. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. The district's per-student spending is generally in line with the state average, suggesting that the low performance is not due to a lack of funding. Addressing the systemic issues within the district, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and attendance and engagement challenges, will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for all students in the Meigs Local school district.
