New Philadelphia High School

Summary:

New Philadelphia High School is a public high school serving 744 students in grades 9-12 in New Philadelphia, Ohio, a predominantly White community with a significant Hispanic population.

Academically, the school performs well above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with strong results in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. However, the school's graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 77.0% to 85.3%, indicating room for improvement in ensuring more students successfully complete their high school education. A concerning trend is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.2% in 2019-2020 to 37.7% in 2021-2022, which may impact student learning and outcomes. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and White students generally outperforming their male and Hispanic counterparts, respectively.

Interestingly, a nearby high school, Buckeye Career Center, has a significantly higher percentage of White students (92.06%) compared to New Philadelphia High School. Additionally, New Philadelphia High School's per-student spending of $9,957 in 2018-2019 is in line with the state average, suggesting its performance is not primarily driven by funding levels. The school has maintained a relatively stable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 14.8 students per teacher, which can positively impact student learning.

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.
