Nelsonville-York High School

Summary:

Nelsonville-York High School is a public high school serving 289 students in grades 9-12 in Nelsonville, Ohio. The school is part of the Nelsonville-York City School District, which is ranked 590 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nelsonville-York High School faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population (94.12%), consistently low academic performance ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism from 17.7% to 55.7% over the past few years. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, and its special education and disabled student subgroups have performed better than the overall student population on state assessments. Nearby schools like Trimble Learning Academy and Tri-County Career Center Building have similar demographic and performance characteristics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Nelsonville-York High School may be common in the region.

While the school's spending per student of $10,000 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the state average, the school's performance indicates that there may be opportunities to improve the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization. Addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate should also be a priority for the school and district, as this trend is likely contributing to the school's overall academic struggles.

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.
