Warrensville Heights High School

Summary:

Warrensville Heights High School is a public high school serving 547 students in grades 9-12 in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, which is part of the Warrensville Heights City School District. The school has a highly diverse student population, with African American students making up 97.26% of the enrollment, in contrast to the nearby Luther E Ball (Chjcf) school, which has a more balanced racial makeup.

Academically, Warrensville Heights High School has consistently low performance compared to the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 20% in Geometry to 51.4% in Algebra I, well below the state averages. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 38.3% to 64.8% in recent years. However, the school has shown improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 84.2% in 2019-2020 to 96.4% in 2023-2024, though still slightly below the state average.

When analyzing the performance of specific student groups, the school's African American students perform better than the overall student population, ranking 145 out of 318 Ohio high schools in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as special education and low socioeconomic status students, is significantly lower. The school's spending per student of $12,970 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, suggesting that funding may not be the primary factor contributing to the school's academic challenges, and that the school may need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to support 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.
