Belpre High School

Summary:

Belpre High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Belpre, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the Belpre City School District, which is ranked 458 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belpre High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.5% to 98.8% over the past five years, indicating strong student retention and academic success. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.9% in 2019-2020 to 42.7% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend. Belpre High School's performance on Ohio state tests is mixed, with the school performing well in some subject areas, such as American Government and English II, but struggling in others, particularly in Mathematics and Geometry. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at around 44% in the most recent year, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Belpre High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Wolf Creek Local, Washington County Career Center District, and Belpre Blue Sky Academy. However, the BlueSky Virtual Academy has a significantly lower chronic absenteeism rate, which could be an area of interest for Belpre High School to explore. Additionally, Belpre High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school performing well for female students and white students, but struggling with special education and disabled students, as well as in the area of gifted and talented education.

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.
