River Gate High School

Summary:

River Gate High School is a public charter high school located in Warren, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 158 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (52.53%) and African American (26.58%), with a significant percentage of students identifying as two or more races (20.25%).

Despite its small size, River Gate High School has consistently underperformed compared to state standards. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with four-year graduation rates ranging from just 2.8% to 26.5%, which are significantly lower than the state average. River Gate High School has also experienced extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 100% in the 2020-2021 school year, and its students have consistently scored well below the state average on Ohio's End of Course assessments across various subjects.

In contrast, the nearby Trumbull Career & Technical Center, located just 3.22 miles from River Gate High School, presents a much more positive picture. Trumbull Career & Technical Center has a larger student population (841 students), a more racially diverse student body, and significantly better performance metrics, such as a 48.04% free and reduced-price lunch rate and a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, compared to River Gate High School's high rates of poverty and large class sizes. These stark differences raise concerns about equity and the ability of River Gate High School to provide a high-quality education to all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
