North High School

Summary:

North High School is a public high school located in Eastlake, Ohio, serving 1,216 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District, which is ranked 411 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North High School has a predominantly white student population, with 81.17% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I. However, the school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.2% to 95.4% over the past five school years. One area of concern is the school's increasing chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 13.1% in the 2019-2020 school year to 38.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, North High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American and Hispanic students being significantly higher than its overall ranking. Additionally, the nearby Northern Career Institute, which is also part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District, has a significantly different student population and academic focus, with a higher percentage of African American and low-income students, as well as a lower student-teacher ratio, potentially offering a different educational experience and opportunities for students.

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.
