Sidney City

The Sidney City school district in Ohio consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves students from diverse backgrounds, with varying academic performance and challenges across the different schools.

Among the standout schools, Sidney Middle School performs above the district and state averages on several state test metrics, with an impressive 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam. However, the school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.1%. Similarly, Sidney High School outperforms the district on several end-of-course exams, but also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.7% and a graduation rate below the state average. The Jacket Virtual Academy, an alternative virtual school, stands out with a 0% chronic absenteeism rate, but underperforms the district and state on most state test metrics.

Across the district, the data reveals inconsistent performance, with some schools excelling on certain metrics while others struggle. Chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, such as high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, appear to be significant challenges impacting student outcomes. The district has opportunities to address these issues and work towards more consistent quality and equity in education for all students in the Sidney City school system.
