Gallia Academy High School

Summary:

Gallia Academy High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Gallipolis, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 481 students. The school is part of the Gallipolis City School District, which is ranked 464 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gallia Academy High School faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population (89.6%), fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 77.8% to 88.7%, and high rates of chronic absenteeism reaching as high as 39.1%. Academically, the school's performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below the state average across various subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 329 out of 800 Ohio high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 588 out of 864 in 2023-2024.

In comparison, the nearby Buckeye Hills Career Center, which is part of the Gallia-Jackson-Vinton school district, has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.62%) compared to Gallia Academy High School. However, the available data does not provide enough information to make a comprehensive comparison between the two schools. The school's spending per student, at $7,949 in the 2018-2019 school year, is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the academic and performance challenges faced by the school.

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.
