Summary:
The Westfall Local school district in Ohio is home to a single high school, Westfall High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some academic strengths, it faces challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking and improving performance in certain subject areas, particularly mathematics.
Westfall High School's enrollment of 424 students is predominantly White (94.81%), with small percentages of other racial groups. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students performing above the state average in English II and Biology, but significantly below average in Geometry. This uneven performance is reflected in the school's declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 451 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 513 out of 864 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as over a third of Westfall High School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged student population. This may require the district to allocate additional resources and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. Overall, while Westfall High School has some strengths, it faces several areas for improvement, including addressing its declining academic performance, improving math instruction, and addressing attendance issues to support student success.
