Western Hills University High School

Summary:

Western Hills University High School is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 1,418 students in grades 7-12. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Western Hills University High School faces significant challenges. Its student population is predominantly African American (57.76%) and Hispanic (24.4%), which is much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state tests is well below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Science, only 20% of students were proficient or better, compared to 62.1% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 76.6% in 2020-2021 to 68% in 2023-2024, which is below the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 66.3% to 72.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to the nearby Diamond Oaks Cdc, which has a higher percentage of White students and lower rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, Western Hills University High School performs significantly worse academically and has higher rates of chronic absenteeism. The school's lower spending per student of $9,448 in 2018-2019, compared to the state average, may also be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, suggesting the need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
