Mt Healthy Junior High School

Summary:

Mt Healthy Junior High School is a public middle school serving 457 students in grades 7-8 in the Mt Healthy City School District in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio middle schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating it is among the lowest performing schools in the state.

Mt Healthy Junior High School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 47.1% to 58.5% over the past 4 years, well above state averages. Academically, the school's students perform far below state averages on Ohio assessments, with only 13.7% of 7th graders and 16.8% of 8th graders proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 49% and 46.3% respectively. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, as well as male students and students with disabilities.

In contrast, the surrounding area is home to several higher-performing middle schools, such as Creekside Middle School, Wyoming Middle School, and Colerain Middle School, which have significantly better academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and overall stronger performance. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to Mt Healthy Junior High School's challenges should be a top priority for the Cincinnati Public Schools district and the local community.

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.
