Sciotoville Community School

Summary:

Located in Portsmouth, Ohio, Sciotoville Community School is an alternative public charter school serving 351 students in grades K-12. The school has a unique student population, with a majority of 91.74% white students and smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students.

Sciotoville Community School has shown some strengths, such as a high four-year graduation rate of 97.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has also faced challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.1% in 2019-2020 to 55.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on Ohio State Tests has generally been lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in mathematics ranging from 16.2% to 47.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state averages of 46.3% to 62.1%.

Despite these challenges, Sciotoville Community School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 14.5 over the past three school years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student in the 2018-2019 school year was $7,848, which is lower than the state average. As the school community works to address the declining academic performance and rising chronic absenteeism, it will be important to explore strategies to promote greater diversity and inclusion, as well as ensure that resources are allocated effectively to support student success.

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.
